Iframely (Nodebb)

@crazycells typically, you do not need the port as that is handled and processed by the NGINX config. I have my instance running in a subdomain for security reasons with CORS headers adjusted to suit.

@DownPW from what I see, iFramely isn’t setup properly on your server as the port of 8061 does not appear to be listening. For example, see below for the response I get when trying to access the port.

Another possibility here (and a strong one in fact) is that you probably need to open this port on your firewall (perhaps iptables) and probably your router also (in terms of NAT).

@phenomlab

I have open the port on my router:

[phenomlab]

@DownPW right, but what about iptables on the server itself? The port isn’t responding which is the first hurdle to overcome.

[DownPW]

I don’t know because I think you are connected to ssh, so I don’t see this

grrr it’s a debian scratch and iptables is not installed by defaut

[phenomlab]

@DownPW what happens if you perform the same telnet command from the server itself ? If that responds, then the issue is possibly the NAT translation via the router.

Fire example, if telnet 127.0.0.1 8061 connects, then the port is listening on localhost. If you try the same but with the public IP you have instead, then that’s a NAT issue (potentially)

very odd @phenomlab

I can connect to telnet on server (local host) and externally (with my phone on 4g network = externally network) with public ip

telnet privateIP 8061 is OK on the server
telnet externalPublicIP 8061 is OK with my smartphone on 5G (externally network) with Termux app

The NAT on my router and the server is OK on 8061 port

@DownPW very odd. Ok. I’ll take a look at this tomorrow morning but I do need root access (and password) to this server.

OK
you already have these information in your PM

[phenomlab]

@DownPW confirmed. Thanks

@DownPW This is now resolved. The issue was an incorrect URL specified in the Nodebb plugin. I’ve corrected this, and now it works as intended.
