Clicking on the BeaKer Icon Does Nothing

(NOTE: This only applies to AI-Hunter version 3.8.0; 3.8.0 was the first version with BeaKer included.  Versions 4.0.0 and higher have this bug fixed.  To find out your AI-Hunter version, go to the Dashboard, Settings (gear in the upper right), and “About”.)

On your AI-Hunter system, look at /etc/AI-Hunter/config.yaml . Near the bottom of that file you should have a line starting with “BeakerHost:”, like one of the following forms:

BeakerHost: “https://14.96.107.22:5601”
or
BeakerHost: “https://beakerhostname.example.com:5601”
or
BeakerHost: “https://[2604:a340:206:d94::13:8001]:5601”
or
BeakerHost: “https://2604:a340:206:d94::13:8001:5601”

Each of these forms has the IP address or hostname of the BeaKer server, as well as the port on which that server is run (5601 by default).

The first three forms are fine – they tell AI-Hunter how to reach the BeaKer server when it’s on an IPv4 address, hostname, or IPv6 address, respectively. If you have one of these first three, this faq entry doesn’t apply to you; contact [email protected] for help.

The fourth form is almost identical to the third, but is missing the square brackets around the IPv6 address. These are required, so if your “BeakerHost” line is missing them as well, do the following:

• While still logged in to your AI-Hunter server, edit the file /etc/AI-Hunter/config.yaml (substitute your favorite editor for vim):

sudo vim /etc/AI-Hunter/config.yaml

• Scroll down to the BeakerHost line.
• Edit that line and add a left square bracket immediately after “://”
• Add a right square bracket immediately before “:5601”
• While the IPv6 address inside the brackets will be different, your line should look like:

BeakerHost: "https://[2604:a340:206:d94::13:8001]:5601"

• Save the file and exit
• Run the following commands:

cd ~/AIH-source/AI-Hunter-latest/
sudo ./hunt down
sudo ./hunt up -d --force-recreate

Go back to your AI-Hunter console, force a reload of the page with shift-ctrl-R, and try clicking on the BeaKer icon again – a new tab should be opened with the BeaKer console.
