Keycloak will not allow access from users or services running on unknown hosts. As an illustration, accessing the YOUnite UI from a system that is distinct or remote from the YOUnite stack.

If there is a need to remotely access YOUnite services such as the YOUnite UI or Kibana using a web browser then extra configuration is required.

if there is a need to remotely access YOUnite services such as the YOUnite UI or Kibana using a web browser then do the following before running a YOUnite provided docker-compose.yml file or any of the start scripts (e.g. start.sh, start.cmd, etc) designed to start the YOUnite stack:

  • Get the public IP address of the host running the YOUnite stack.

  • Add the public IP as follows to the hosts file of any remote system from which you intend to remote access YOUnite services from:

        <PUBLIC-IP> local.younite.org
Note
 if you need help see this page on how to edit your host file)

Setting the Hostname

The hostname local.younite.org can be changed by setting and exporting the YOUNITE_HOSTNAME environment variable in the shell where you will be starting the YOUnite stack from. Make this change before running the start script. For example:

Linux or Mac OS:

export YOUNITE_HOSTNAME=younite.myco.com

Windows:

set YOUNITE_HOSTNAME=younite.myco.com
