My Cloud ex2 ultra issues: unable to login after setting static ip

[slimprize]

Hi all,
I am a new user of the my cloud ultra 2x2 drive. I have set a static IP address on my router on a separate and cannot access the web console any more. I have separate subnets for static IP addresses.
How do I get around this? I did see a solution of setting an IP address on another network interface. The problem is that there is only one LAN interface.
I have managed to get ssh access but that is not helping I did do an ifconfig and can see a docker network interface as well.
I do not know if I can add or change any interface.
There is no /etc/network/interfaces file.

I havent read this in detail, but it might be useful?

EX2 - Web access on a different subnet

No it is not, i can acess port 80 on the IP address of the EX2, it responds, but the web server of the EX2 gives that messages, so the problem is on the EX2 web server that only permits access to the same subnet of it’s own ip address.

Hi,

On my box too, the docker IP address is different (172.x.y.z while the NAS main IP is on 192.168.x.y).

Is apache up listening on port 80 ?

ps -ef | grep apache
netstat -an | grep LISTEN => check for port 0.0.0.0 : 80

If yes, check the restriction in the config file:
/usr/local/apache2/conf/httpd.conf

Modify the “Require ip a.b.c.d/n” to match your subnet.
Send a SIGHUP to apache.

Hi Aleph/Ayin,
I could modify the httpd.conf file but that would mean that my modification would be lost upon every reboot I believe. If that is wrong, then please correct me and I’ll gladly make the modification. The WD solution is to enable cloud access for the dashboard. I have UPNP disabled in my router therefore, I believe the cloud access is not really sending out anything but I am not sure.

I’m still trying to figure out the boot sequence of this beast and the source of the config for each item (the generation of the samba config retrieves users and groups that i deleted through the web gui).

Maybe you can insert a custom script using the methode described in this post:

How to run a user boot script at MyCloud Gen2 (2.11.xx) devices

How to run a boot script at MyCloud Gen2 (2.11.xx) devices Disclaimer: The following can brick your device. Please use only if you are fit with crontabs and unix shell scripting. The latest myclouds are rather closed systems. You can change some settings with the web dashboard, but everything else you do on a shell level will be gone after reboot. User @Fox_exe has done some amazing work to set up a chroot debian environment parallel to the built in system. But after reboot you have to set it…

so it adapts you apache config after booting.

The lead i’m following is modifying the /usr/local/modules/script/system_init.
/usr/local/modules/ is the file /usr/local/tmp/image.cfs mounted on a loop device (and since it’s “tmp” it must come from somewhere else) - why keep it simple ?

Hi,
I would prefer to have a system which is persistent across reboots. I am educating myself about cron jobs etc so that I can make some of these modifications. Until then, I have taken rather a risky approach and have enabled cloud dashboard access. As a mitigating factor, upnp is disabled on my router and there are no forwarding rules so I am hoping accessing the my cloud dashboard is difficult from the internet. I do need to have cloud access for one user so that complicates things. Again though, I have not setup any forwarding rules and UPNP is disabled so I do not know how accessible the box is from the outside. I am told that a relay connection has been established to the cloud.
