Hi Peter
We are trying to deploy River in Raspberry pi. We were successful to deploy it
however need to tweak few other things in order to utilize this platform more
precisely. Our problem is that we need to run the reggie and need to return IP
address rather than domain name in order to run our client from other machine.
Whenever we run our server, client, regggiee etc in the same machine it works
fine. But when we run our client program from other machine, it could not
resolve the domain name as the server name (Where reggies runs) is not
recorded into our DNS records. So, we tweaked the hostname of the server and
changed it to IP address, in that case it works successfully. However, we do
not want our users change their hostname into ip address in order to make it
workable.
So, we would like to tweak the config file of Reggie. The current config file
does not return IP address. We tried to change it by changing
ConfigUtil.getHostName() to ConfigUtil.getHostAddress(), but it still returns
the hostname. I have attached 2 files. One of which started and showing IP
address. In this case we changed our hostname (/etc/hostname file) to IP
address. It works fine but as I mentioned above, in this case, user needs to
change his/her hostname to IP address which we do not want to demand. And the
other file is the hostname without change and this makes problem if we run our
client from separate machine.
Do you have any other methods so that it runs successfully and return IP
address. I think the config file of start-reggie.config located at
example/hello/config/start-reggie.config has following codes. Thank you very
much for your help in this regards
