I set up a Cloudflare tunnel to my Ignition gateway running on a Docker container and use Google idp for security.
Everything works beautifully using a browser. I can connect to the gateway and launch the Perspective project in the browser.
When I try to add this in the Android app, it says the host is valid, but no applications found.
https://igntion.mydomain.com maps via the Cloudflare tunnel to http://:8088, using all their magic and certificates.
Any idea how to fix this?
Can you reach the gateway from a web browser on the android device? What about ignition.mydomain.com/data/perspective/runnable-projects?
Try to explicitly set the URL as https://<url>:443.
EDIT: I can't remember if this will specifically address your problem, but there was a recent situation I recall (involving QR codes) where the app would only recognize URLs with an explicit port.. That might have been fixed already, even, but thought I'd mention it as a quick thing to try.
Everything works fine from a browser. The original screenshots were all from a browser on the same device.
That results in the following, on the same device:
{
"name": "Home",
"title": "Home",
"description": "Home automation",
"author": "Administrator",
"modified": "Feb 24, 2023, 10:42:50 AM",
"thumbnailUrl": "",
"launchUrl": "/data/perspective/client/Home"
}
]```Explicitly specifying the port has the same result. Host valid, but no projects listed
Do you have their authentication on the tunnel or is it just a reverse proxy with no extra authentication? If you are using their zero trust stuff, it won't work.
If you are just trying to access your stuff remotely, give tailscale a try.
I'm using authentication. The device has been authenticated via the browser. Maybe the app doesn't share that authentication token/cookie/whatever.
What is the reason it won't work with the app?
I'll have a look at Tailscale. Really impressed with CloudFlare Tunnels so far; it's just the Perspective app that doesn't like it
The perspective app does not share authentication with the browser.
This may not solve your problem but it does show a way for "sharing authentication with the browser"
I am trying the same thing except I am using the regular ignition 8.1. I am running the ignition docker version at my home for testing. I setup the cloudflare tunnel and connects fine. I can load the gateway admin and login. I can bring up my app login on same browser, enter my credentials then something weird is happening. The loading page gets stuck and looks like this:
Its stuck on the "Initializing client..." Authenticating .... and stops there.
what is causing the load screen to hang. I would think since the rest is working this should also. On my local machine ignition is on 8089 that gets mapped to the internal docker port of 8088. Cloudflare is http to the my local ip address on my computer using port 8089.
