I was trying to solve a problem with FastChannels and changed field host to 127.0.0.1 and now I can't connect my browser to PrismCast. I reloaded a fresh copy of PrismCast and I'm still locked out.
Can anyone tell me how to reset this back to normal?
127.0.0.1 is the loopback port (IP) of the server. If you are on a different box, then you need to point your browser to the server's IP.
Because I screwed up the setting in PrismCast/Config, No matter what I set my browser to, I can not communicate with PrismCast to fix things.
Restore to your last backup
I don't have a good backup for docker.
What I need to do is set variable "HOST" back to 0.0.0.0
There is a PrismCast config file at .../.prismcast/config.json
but I don't know how to find/change it.
Next time keep a copy of your .json file.
There are commands that will let you find the docker directory. Google for them.
Otherwise delete the container and recorate kit
I did delete the container. It remembered my old settings and still fails.
From the documentation:
"The persistent volume preserves your configuration, channels, and login sessions across updates."
It looks like I need a way to wipe out the "persistent volume".
I can't keep a copy of the .json file because I don't know where it is. If I knew this, I could just edit it.
When you edit your .json file copy the contents and save it on your desktop.
To delete the container and volume:
Can’t you just search using file manager for *.json to list all files and locations. Use the advanced source and make sure to check hidden files
I fixed the problem by deleting the Docker Container & Image. Then editing the .yaml and .env files to include the HOST variable set to 0.0.0.0, then reinstalling PrismCast. I can now communicate again with PrismCast through my browser.
Your suggestion about saving the .json file didn't help because I never found the .json file.
Now that you have a good one copy and save
You can't copy a file if you don't know where to find it.
Copy the text when you create it. As for finding the file, there are docker commands that list the locations
