Setup

Web Dashboard Access

After completing the setup, you can access the Errsole Web Dashboard through the following methods:

  1. Local Environment: Open your web browser and visit http://localhost:8001/.
  2. Remote Server: If you have deployed Errsole on a remote server, use the server's IP address or domain name followed by the port number (e.g., YourServerIP:8001 or YourDomain:8001).

Note

If you initialized Errsole with a different port or specified a custom path, adjust the URL as follows:

  1. Replace 8001 with your chosen port number.
  2. Append your custom path to the end of the URL.

http(s)://YourServerIP:CustomPort/YourCustomPath

Proxy Middleware Configuration

If you encounter issues accessing port 8001 due to firewall restrictions, or if you prefer to host the Errsole Web Dashboard on your primary domain/port, you can configure the Errsole Proxy Middleware in your app. Here is a step-by-step guide: Proxy Middleware Configuration
