Tweaking The TacoNET Config File

Tweaking TacoNET Config

TacoNET By default will bind the application port to all interfaces, and the web interface to localhost.

If you are running TacoNET on Computer A and accessing the web interface from Computer A, just point your web browser to http://localhost:9002/. You should see the TacoNET Home page.

If you are running TacoNET on Computer A and accessing the web interface from Computer B, you'll have to follow a little different process. First you'll have to kill TacoNET if it's running. This can get done from the machine running TacoNET by invoking the following command:

curl http://localhost:9002/shutitdown

or

wget http://localhost:9002/shutitdown

TacoNET is now shut down. Now, you'll need to edit the settings.json file to tell the TacoNET web interface to bind to either all interfaces, or a specific one of your choosing. Fire up the editor of you choice and edit "settings.json" in your TacoNET directory.

You'll see a simple config file, near the bottom you'll see the following lines:

"Web IP": "127.0.0.1",
"Web Port": "9002"

Change the 127.0.0.1 to another IP, or to 0.0.0.0 to bind to all interfaces.
Now when you start up TacoNET, you can access the web interface via

http://ip-of-computer-a:9002/

As you can imagine, we plan to make this process simpler as we move to beta.

Once you have TacoNET up and running, look into [Configuring TacoNET] to actually make it do something.
