Doesn't work

[j4jes]

Just tried this, and it looks broken on Centos7. In the web UI I click on a snapshot under diff and it just gives a spinning wheel endlessly, even when I click elsewhere.

Also there is an option to specify a port other than 12345 but if I try to specify a specific interface like -p 172.100.100.101:12345 ,it doesn't work. I don't want to launch this on all interfaces (-a), this is very insecure.

Sorry for the delayed response.

Doesn't work

a.) how many snapshots did you have? can you post the output of

zfs list -t snapshot -r <YOUR_DATASET> | wc -l

a.) can you please start zfs-snap-diff with the '-v' flag, and post the output here?

Access restrictions

with the -p flag, you can only provide the port. i just released a new version 0.0.10 where you
can specify the listen address with the -l flag:

zfs-snap-diff -l 172.100.100.101 -p 12345 .....

and with this version, you can use it behind a reverse-proxy like nginx (see the example snippet)
and than you can use nginx auth features.

i have included the possibility to use a https connection - the next step is to add a token to all endpoints.
this is security releated, so it's not a quick hack and needs testing - maybe next week.

you can alwas let zfs-snap-difflisten on localhost and use a ssh tunnel to your server:

 ssh -L 12345:127.0.0.1:12345 <REMOTE_HOST_WHERE_ZFS_SNAP_DIFF_RUNS>

and then open your browser on your machine: http://localhost:12345
