[Freedombox-discuss] freedombox.img with qemu

[Markus Sabadello]

I'd also be interested in accessing Plinth from a non-localhost address.
With your fix below, I can indeed access it remotely from a browser.

But as others have noted before, the links in the UI still don't work:
http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/freedombox-discuss/2012-April/003688.html

For example, my Dreamplug is on http://172.16.0.199:8000/, and I can access
that just fine.

The links in the UI look like this:
http://172.16.0.199:8000/privacy
http://172.16.0.199:8000/sharing
http://172.16.0.199:8000/apps

But once I click on them, I get redirected to 127.0.0.1 and never get to
the actual page.

Any idea?

There seem to be lots of hardcoded references to 127.0.0.1 in the Plinth
code, not quite sure where to start..
