Can access be restricted to localhost only?
Yes, ABRA Flexi can be configured to be accessible only from the local server (localhost).
When to use this
This setting is appropriate, for example, if:
the application is running behind a reverse proxy (e.g. Nginx, Apache)
you want to restrict direct access from external networks
you are addressing server security
What this changes
After configuration:
ABRA Flexi will listen only on
localhost (127.0.0.1)it will not be accessible from other computers on the network
👉 clients (desktop / browser) will not connect directly to the server, but only through a proxy or locally
How to apply the setting
1) Open the file:
/etc/default/flexibee
2) Set:
FLEXIBEE_CFG=local
3) Update the debconf configuration:
echo "flexibee winstrom/local-network select local" | sudo debconf-set-selections
4) Restart the Flexi service
