Configuration & web gui

Setup firewall (using ufw)

Install UFW iptables client to update server firewall rules

sudo apt-get install ufw

Allow remote connections to support the network infrastructure

sudo ufw allow 6550

sudo ufw allow 7550

Optionally, restrict client connection by specified IP address

sudo ufw allow from {YOUR_IP} to any port 28332

Important: add ssh (22 by default) port to the IP whitelist

sudo ufw allow 22

Enable firewall

sudo ufw enable

Check port status

6550, 7550

Generate self-signed SSL certificate (need to be accepted in your browser)

openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:4096 -keyout key.pem -out cert.pem -days 365 -nodes

Setup twisterd config

1. nano ~/.twister/twister.conf

2. add connection settings

rpcuser={USERNAME}
rpcpassword={PASSWORD}
rpcsslcertificatechainfile={PATH TO}cert.pem
rpcsslprivatekeyfile={PATH TO}key.pem
rpcallowip={YOUR_IP}

3. Ctrl+X
4. Print Y and press Enter button

Run twisterd node

./twisterd -rpcssl

Connect to the remote node

1. Open https://{SERVER_IP:28332} in your browser
2. Provide HTTP auth {USERNAME} and {PASSWORD}
3. Optionally, support the network or promote your posts by share CPU core in the "Settings" Tab

Issues

1. Ubuntu 18.04 have deprecated libboost dependencies, just upgrade it to 20.04 if you compiling latest twister-core version
2. If ports 6550/7550 still closed, make sure you have dedicated (the white) IP
