Crashplan - Easier way to connect headless

[depasseg]

I had nothing but problems trying to use the SSH and forwarding method, so I configured CP to listen on any IP instead of just localhost.

edit /usr/pbi/crashplan-amd64/share/crashplan/conf/my.service.xml

Code:

 <serviceUIConfig>
    <serviceHost>127.0.0.1</serviceHost>
    <servicePort>4243</servicePort>

With this:

Code:

 <serviceUIConfig>
    <serviceHost>0.0.0.0</serviceHost>
    <servicePort>4243</servicePort>

Restart the jail and edit ui.properties to connect to the JAIL-IP:4243 instead of localhost:4243 (or 4200 if you were using the ssh forwarding method.

Code:

serviceHost=867.5.3.09 (replace with the real IP of your CP jail)
servicePort=4243

Does this still work for you - like in the latest version of 4.4.3? Does it require the security token as well in the CrashPlan/.ui_info?

I haven't touched it in a while. I see my machines are still backing up, but haven't looked at the server. I'll try to test it out this weekend.
