I need to install Duplicati as a systemd service on several Ubuntu servers (18.04), so ​​that the WEB UI is accessible on the network and I can manage the backups for each server from my workstation.  
How can I configure the Duplicati service so that it is listening / binded to a specific IP address?  
At that moment the service is listening on port 127.0.0.1 (localhost). How do I change this setting?  
I’ve already tested the headless configuration (sudo duplicati-server --webservice-interface=) and, of course, it works. But I need to use Duplicati as a service.

Thanks.

Welcome to the forum!

You can edit `/etc/default/duplicati` so that the option line looks something like this:  
`DAEMON_OPTS="--webservice-interface=any --webservice-port=8200"`

Then restart the service for the change to go into effect:  
`# systemctl restart duplicati`
