11.3. Manager API Specifics

The Manager API is enabled by default, but only listens to localhost connections on port 8090.

The Manager REST API can be disabled with the tpm flag:

manager-rest-api=false

If required, the listen port can be changed using the tpm option:

manager-rest-api-port=8090

Exposing the API to a different network address for remote access, like an internal network, consists in changing the listen address of the API server.

For example, granting access to local 192.168.1.* network would translate to the tpm option:

manager-rest-api-address=192.168.1.0

Warning

Note that exposing the API to a public network can introduce a security breach like brute-force or DDoS attack exposure
