Chart access when hosted on remote server?

[shanehull]

Hi,

Should I be able to access the html chart if Zenbot is hosted on a DigitalOcean server?

I'm getting nothing using the url it outputs after a sim.

I've searched around but can only find issues related to 3.x.

Worked it out! It's just outputted to the folder - no web server!

Ps. it would be sweet to get some documentation on setting up nginx with ssl to the simulations directory for anyone running remotely. I'm in the process of getting my head around it. Can share once I do.

I have simple solution:
Install ws
start from zenbot folder: ws -p 8080 -d simulations/
on your browser write http://<external IP>:8080 of your zenbot server.

Thanks @nedievas .
I ended up setting up nginx over ssl with authentication after all. It works a treat.

I created a cert with certbot using certbot certonly --standalone -d subdomain.example.com.

Installed nginx .
Created a htpasswd using: printf "username:`openssl passwd -apr1`\n" >> /etc/nginx/.htpasswd

Then, edited the /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default file to contain of the following:

   listen 80;
   listen [::]:80;
   server_name subdomain.mydomain.me;
   return 301 https://$server_name$request_uri;
}

server {
    listen 443 ssl;
    listen [::]:443 ssl;
    root /root/zenbot/simulations;

    ssl_certificate                 /etc/letsencrypt/live/subdomain.mydomain.me/fullchain.pem;
    ssl_certificate_key             /etc/letsencrypt/live/subdomain.mydomain.me/privkey.pem;
    add_header                      Strict-Transport-Security "max-age=31536000";

            autoindex on;
            auth_basic "Restricted Content";
            auth_basic_user_file /etc/nginx/.htpasswd;
}

Run systemctl restart nginx.service and that's it!

Result:
