Hi Sam, I think `lein gorilla :ip 0.0.0.0 :port 55555` should work (it works on my machine). And if your router is forwarding 55555 to that machine correctly then it should be accessible from outside. `lein gorilla :ip ROUTER_IP :port 55555` shouldn't work because ROUTER_IP isn't an IP address bound to the machine, so it will not be able to run a server on it.
More importantly, though, DO NOT DO THIS!!! The reason is that this will give full access (with the privileges of the user running Gorilla) to anyone on the internet. Stuff like reading, deleting all of your files etc :-( Gorilla doesn't have any form of authentication mechanism built in, and the server mode is really meant for trusted access only. If you want to run Gorilla over a non-trusted network then you should set it up to use some form of authentication. The solution I usually use for this sort of thing is to tunnel through SSH. So, first of all make sure you can access SSH on THAT_COMPUTER ... if your router allows you to forward 55555 external to 22 on THAT_COMPUTER then that would work. If you can't control the target port then you might need to run the SSH server on a different port (55555). Once you've got SSH running then you can run the Gorilla server on the internal (loopback) IP i.e. the default setting. This is not accessible from outside the machine, but it is accessible by the SSH server which is running on the machine. So you can then use ssh tunnelling to access this port from the outside machine. So: - set up router to forward ssh - run `lein gorilla :port 55556` on THAT_COMPUTER - on the remote machine `ssh -L 8090:127.0.0.1:55556 -p 55555 me@ROUTER_IP`. This connects to the SSH server on 55555, and tells it to route traffic from the local machine's port 8080 to the remote machine's port 55556, which is the port that Gorilla is running on. This will be done by the ssh server, internal to the remote machine, so does not need Gorilla to be externally accessible. - then you should be able to securely access Gorilla on the remote machine at `http://localhost:8090/...`. SSH will route this as described above. A diagram would really help here with all of the ports, but hopefully you get the idea :-) Jony On Thursday, 15 January 2015 01:01:56 UTC, Sam Raker wrote: > > I've got a computer with a bunch of clojure code on it, sitting at home on > my home network.
