Web-to-Local
Open a page that only your board can see
Lots of things you run at home have their own little web page — a smart-home dashboard, a media library, a photo gallery, an admin panel. Normally that page only works while you are on the same home network. Web-to-Local brings it to your computer through your private awaBerry link, so you can open it from anywhere. Nothing is exposed to the public internet.
What you can do
- Set up one or more services to bring across from the board.
- Add, remove and adjust each one.
- Start forwarding and get a ready-made connection script for Mac, Windows or Linux.
- See your daily usage and stop forwarding when you're finished.
On the Mac and Windows apps there is also a native connection helper that can open the link for you automatically. If the service you pointed to isn't actually running on the board, awaBerry lets you know so you can check it.
Bring a service to your computer
- Open your board from Remote and choose Web-to-Local.
- Add the service, telling awaBerry which port it uses on the board (for example a home dashboard on port 8080).
- Start forwarding.
- Copy the connection script for your computer and run it.
- Open the service on your own machine — it works as if it were running right there.
- When you're done, stop forwarding.
A "port" is just the door number a service listens on. If you're not sure which one to use, the app it belongs to will tell you — it's usually a number like 80, 8080 or 3000.
