Setting "server.http.host" has no effect in 3.0

[paulholden]

Describe the bug
In previous versions (2.11.5) of Rundeck it was possible to configure the interface to bind to by setting the server.http.host System Property - ref.

This setting no longer appears to have any effect in 3.0

My Rundeck detail

• Rundeck version: 3.0.0
• install type: deb
• OS Name/version: ubuntu 16.04
• DB Type/version: mysql

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Set server.http.host in profile configuration file
2. Observe netstat output and see server is bound to all addresses "0.0.0.0"

Expected behavior
Rundeck should observe the server.http.host configuration and bind to the correct interface

Try setting the server.address property and let us know if that accomplishes your desired result in 3.0.

@sjrd218 We have the same problem with the "server.http.port" system property. Since updating to 3.0, it no longer has an effect as well. Seems like this might be related - if not, I'm happy to create a separate issue.

[sjrd218]

@joscha-alisch Try using server.port and see if that works.

The latest grails framework is built on spring boot so we've had to change the way Rundeck initialization works. We may have a few places where we aren't translating the old property to the new. Please let us know if these properties mentioned above work for you. Thanks!

Yes that works @sjrd218, thank you! I can also confirm that "server.address" works for me for the initial issue of @paulholden.

I just tried rundeck-3.0.1-20180803 (war version)..and this is what I notice.
The configuration files (profile, framework.properties, preference.properties) has no affect.
Looks like the correct config file now is only "rundeck-config.properties".
The config is case sensitive.

To change the server address (lets say 192.168.1.2), you need to modify the rundeck-config.properties on:
server.address=192.168.1.2

To change the port to lets say 4444, you need to modify the rundeck-config.properties on:
server.port=4444

To change the web context to lets say http(s)://yourserver:4444/rundeck, you need to modify the undeck-config.properties on:
server.contextPath=/rundeck

If you are doing a reverse proxy thing, lets say https://yourserver/rundeck do remember to change the rundeck-config.properties on:
grails.serverURL=https://yourserver/rundeck

Thanks all, I've upgraded to 3.0.5 this morning and can confirm that server.http.host is now working as expected 👍

I fixed this issue by setting ports in /etc/rundeck/framework.properties & /etc/rundeck/rundeck-config.properties
