How do you access the WebUI from the terminal?

Hello,

I’ve got a problem enabling the LACP feature for my two ethernet ports. It gives me an error everytime I tried to enable it, and I ended up not being able to access my RockStor over ethernet.

I need to access the WebUI from the terminal, but I don’t know the command and I can’t find it. Can you please tell me how to do so?

hello again @Dahita.

Unfortunately, you can’t access the WebUI just from the terminal, since no graphical interface is installed. Only way to get to the UI is using a browser, which in turn would require your ethernet connection, which, of course you currently don’t seem to have.

I think your current only choice to undo your settings is to use the command line interface of Network Manager: nmcli.

You probably have to take a look at the connections it currently sees, and possibly delete the one that represents the LACP piece.

ncmcli connection show should give you some list of configured/recognized connections, e.g.:

NAME                UUID                                  TYPE      DEVICE
Wired connection 1  fbe6eed2-f0ba-35a6-a213-f74429c78ee5  ethernet  eth0
docker0             d867a56d-79bb-4eb1-85ad-702138b7b1cc  bridge    docker0
lo                  7986b147-820f-4f29-8cfa-47345aee2ef6  loopback  lo
Wired connection 2  a89eb57b-ca7d-346c-dbac-6c64277b1163  ethernet  --

I would expect that in your case one of the entries would represent the (failed) bonded connection. You could maybe modify it. Not sure whether that will work, but I found this:

nmcli connection modify <NAME> connection.slave-type '' connection.master ''

Where the <NAME> would be replaced with the name listed for the bonded connection.

Otherwise, I think you have to remove the connection. But beyond that I’m not sure …

Thank you so much for taking the time to answer, I really appreciate it. I was looking into the ncmli options you were mentioning when it hit me that the motherboard has an integrated Ethernet port. I connected it and bingo; I was able to access the RockStor.

Unfortunately, I’m running into the same problem again regarding LACP. I will create a new post so there’s something people can look up. Thanks again for your help.
