Not to worry :slight_smile:

For security Duplicati only listens on requests from localhost by default. You need to allow requests from other sources.

There’s two ways to do it:

  1. From the web API (you can’t unless you do ssh port forwarding or have a gui on the server)
  2. Update the systemd file to include the launch parameter --webservice-interface=any

#2 is the easiest if you’ve already got the CLI open :slight_smile:

First figure out where the Duplicati systemd service file is:

# systemctl status duplicati
● duplicati.service - Duplicati web-server
   Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/duplicati.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)
   Active: active (running) since Sun 2018-04-08 15:14:20 CEST; 2 days ago

The Loaded: loaded line tells you the file location

Edit the file (vim, nano, etc)

# nano /lib/systemd/system/duplicati.service

In the file update the ExecStart line to include --webservice-interface=any
The line will look like this:

ExecStart=/usr/bin/duplicati-server $DAEMON_OPTS --webservice-port=8200 --webservice-interface=any

--webservice-port=8200 may or may not be there. You can include it or leave it as is.

Oh and, of course, reload systemd and restart the service:

# sudo systemctl daemon-reload
# sudo systemctl restart duplicati

Edit: changed ‘webservice–listen-interface’ to ‘webservice-interface’
