I had 2 nodes on a server and a radioless hub on a second server all running on latest updated allstarlink3, on my home network. On ALLMON3 it displayed the hub and nodes and I could make connections between them all normally. I have switched off the hub server and installed it on a cloud server. On the allmon3 webpage on the cloud server I can see the hub, complete with name location etc, and I have connected my 2 nodes to it and it shows them on the page as it should.
However on my home network and on the allmon3 webpage for my nodes it shows the hub node number, but no location frequency etc. It also doesnt show that any nodes are connected to it.
I have the 3 stanzas in allmon3.ini set up with ip address of the cloud server, user and password.
i was just reading about that. stanzas can include the IP address of a non-local server, but when nodes are local, one should use the multinodes parameter in allmon3.ini with the list of local nodes
On the Cloud Server in manager.conf need bindaddr = 0.0.0.0
This allows any outside source Supermon/Almon3 to access the display.
I changed the the port address to a 5 digit port to keep others from trying to crowbar into this.
On my system, all of the nodes use a standard manager port (5038) but they are all locked down so that only the server running Allmon, which is not any of the hubs, by the way, can see them. Any other public IP address trying to access port 5038 on any of my nodes is blocked.
If you are using systems on dynamic IP addresses, I would recommend using a VPN of some sort between your node and the Allmon server that displays everything, using static virtual local addresses so nothing ever changes according to the client and server, even if the public IP’s change. This will also prevent you from having to expose AMI to the world unnecessarily.
