Browse RavenDB using DB studio from outside local machine?

Legacy Uncategorised
1

I have had a quick read up on RavenDB and as far as I can see there isn’t a way to allow using the DB studio against an embedded DB without specifying so in code?

I’d like to have access from the developer machines rather than having to remote desktop on to the server if I want to make a change.

Can anyone help?

EDIT: Just realised this is a bit light on information. Basically, I can reach the RavenDB studio page from outside the server, but I can’t access anything as the RavenDB studio gives me a ‘forbidden’ message (that is, a proper RavenDB studio error message, not a server or .NET error or a 500 or anything).

Exception is:

Hi,

Octopus already tells RavenDB to listen on port 10930 - we do this because the Octopus website actually connects back to the RavenDB server over HTTP to make queries. In the Octopus Web Portal, go to the Configuration->Storage tab to find the link to your RavenDB instance.

To access it from the development machines you’ll just need to ensure that port 10930 is open on the firewall and that you can log in using an account that is a local admin on the RavenDB server computer.

It’s not a firewall problem. I get the web interface up and everything, but the interface reports the above exception once it’s loaded.

However, having just had a re-think, I remembered that I connect to the remote desktop under a different user which has Local Administrator privs on the host machine.

If I access the interface from a development machine using that user (i.e. run IE with ‘Run as a different user’) then I can access the interface OK.

thanks for your help!
