Warning

This section is outdated need to be adapted to the new web UI |
The web UI needs to be enabled as a parameter option to the retroshare-service:
./retroshare-nogui --webinterface 9090 --docroot /usr/share/retroshare/webui/The web UI is only accessible on localhost:9090. It is advised to keep it that way so that your RS cannot be controlled using an untrusted connection.
To access your web UI from a distance, just open a SSH tunnel to it:
distant_machine:~/ > ssh rs_host -L 9090:localhost:9090 -N"rs_host" is the machine running retroshare-nogui. Then on the distant machine, access your web UI on
http://localhost:9090
(This can also be done from the RetroShare GUI.)
