DataWraith marked one of Zbig's replies in Wuala as useful. Zbig replied to the question "Will it be conflict when I run wuala on two computer which share a IP address?". DataWraith and 2 other people think it's one of the best replies.

Thanks, I had forgotten about 0.0.0.0 :-) – DataWraith, on June 29, 2009 15:40

you guys simply dont seem to understand what localhost means.

Localhost is an alias for 127.0.0.1. The loopback device. Accessing the local machine.

Thanks for your condescending explanation, but I already knew that.

thats why you cannot access localhost "over" the network as it doesnt make any sense. what you might mean is the other local network addresses of any other locally used network interface devices that actually connect to other networks.

Since you obviously didn't bother reading the preceding replies, this is probably a waste, but, I'll try to spell it out for you again:

If I'm told to "connect to localhost", that doesn't imply that Wuala did, in fact, bind to 127.0.0.1 only. That was the whole point of the discussion -- a status website for the GUI client really only makes sense if you can access it over the network, which, I think, is why Robert had assumed this would be possible. After not understanding what he wanted to say (which wasn't really about localhost-as-the-interface at all), you then implied that the problem of not understanding was his fault. ("where is your problem of understanding that address.").

Sorry, but your behavior sort of annoyed me. Implying that others are ignorant, while being the ignorant one yourself.

A comment on the question "Wuala status website only works localy?" in Wuala:

Huh, now that I configured that with the commandline, the GUI also displays my LAN-address for the status page (instead of 127.0.0.1), and it remains available. The change persists across restarts.

It may still stop to work when the DHCP server gives out a new address, but for now it's working as intended. :-) – DataWraith, on June 27, 2009 19:19

I just took a look at the commandline client. Apparently support for accessing the status page within the local LAN is already included there:


$ ./wuala enableStatusServer
Usage: enableStatusServer ADDRESS PORT
ADDRESS must be a valid IP, e.g. 127.0.0.1 (for local access only), <LAN-IP>(for LAN access) or your public ip


It didn't detect my LAN-IP correctly, but using the correct one worked, and I could access the status page. That still leaves the GUI client though. A checkbox "Make available over LAN" next to the option might work nicely.

A comment on the question "Wuala status website only works localy?" in Wuala:

I'm not sure your tone is appropriate here, nickname. Just because something is running on localhost doesn't imply that it cannot be accessed from elsewhere (most webservers can also be reached on localhost if you happen to be on the machine, after all.)

Robert's expectation, I'm sure, was that he could check up on Wuala on another computer in the network -- otherwise a status webpage isn't all that useful IMHO.

I suspected that it would only work on localhost when I first saw it, for security reasons, but that's not necessarily implied in the wording of the option.

It would be nice if Wuala had an option to allow connections from the local LAN for the status webpage -- and while we're at it, for the NFS server too... – DataWraith, on June 27, 2009 10:05

Spontan fiele mir jetzt kein anderes (Endnutzer-)Programm ein, bei dem man die Datenrate in Kbit (kleines b -- dadurch unterscheidet man das) statt in KByte angezeigt bekommt oder festlegen kann. Ich denke es wäre nicht sinnvoll, wenn Wuala da aus dem Rahmen fallen würde.

Unfortunately there seems to be nothing you can do about it until the developers get around to fixing it.

DataWraith replied on May 17, 2009 09:25 to the question "Cannot create a git repo on wuala" in Wuala:

Unfortunately the FSI doesn't seem to be stable enough to support hosting of git repositories directly. You can find the log file under Options/General/[Check]/[Show log]. I'm not sure where you would have to look if you're running the command line client only.

As a workaround, you can use a local repository and use rsync to transfer it to Wuala. That doesn't work all the time either, but you can at least restart a transfer with rsync. Just be careful with that if you're using multiple computers to access the repository -- you have to make sure the transfer succeeded completely before switching machines.

Cloning/Pulling from Wuala does seem to work though.

You may also want to use .keep files to prevent git gc from making a new pack that has to be re-uploaded all the time (touch .git/objects/pack/pack-<pack hash>.keep).
