Concept

Note

This page has been migrated from the old documentation, and has not yet been fully revised. There might be inconsistencies or errors when using with current LinkAhead versions.

Envoy

Envoy allows serving GRPC and XML API under the same port. It can be enabled by setting envoy_enabled: true in the profile in which case an envoy image is started together with LinkAhead. The envoy config offers the basic prerequisites to be used together with WebGRPC modules. It also serves a default configuration that allows to serve the ACM module under /webinterface/acm.

Authentication and permissions

• If local_users is set to true in the profile in Linux, the local user and password database will be included into the Docker container, so that users can authenticate themselves with their usual password.

  • In this case, also the anonymous user will have full administrative permissions, so starting to use LinkAhead is as simple as possible.
