Starting Dream Daemon with the "-ip" argument followed by an IP address can be used to bind the host port to a specific address, as long as that address is valid for the server.
Applies to:Dream Daemon
Status: Resolved (507.1279)
This issue has been resolved.
I'd like to be able to bind DreamDaemon to a given IP address. (Linux)

Same reason as this dude: http://www.byond.com/forum/?post=815950

This does make stuff like IP aliasing on Linux hosts much more workable (so one that whole dedicated IP address per account thing).

Bump. I like segmenting services on my server onto different IP addresses.

Be able to provide the IP address to bind to, at least via the command line.

Can you clarify? Is this for proxy situations?

My server has 2 IP addresses, and I'd like DreamDaemon to only listen on one of them. Which is not the primary one.

At the moment I'm forced to have it listen across all interfaces and the byond://BYOND.world.xxxxxxx link that BYOND generates points to the primary (wrong) IP address.

A quick fix would have been to only open the port in my firewall on the 'right' interface but this will prevent connections from the hub (as it will use the wrong IP).

I see. I think this is something we should be able to add.

Mmm, there was a similar feature request a long time ago, too, but it seems to escape me the exact wording used in that one. Same idea, but binding by interface was requested as opposed to specific IP.

Practically the same title.

Good find. I've combined the threads. This is a good idea; I'll look into it when I can.

Alas, there was still another one specifically pertaining to *nix-based systems and specific interfaces. I'm afraid it might have not been carried over when we ported over a lot of feature requests and bug reports, but I remember writing the post. Oh well.

? only looked through a few pages of the overall forum wide search, prior post was only looking through Feature Requests.

I'd still like this as well. I like to separate shit onto different IPs so my work stuff isn't associated with my BYOND stuff too closely.

I'm aiming to get this into 507.1279.
