Boundary not using Workers

Boundary
1

Hey,

So ive setup Boundary but for some reason when trying to use the Desktop GUI it never connects to the Boundary Workers. My workers are on another server in a data centre.

Whenever I press connect it shows 127.0.0.1 PORT not the workers IP.

Any ideas?

This is my Worker Config

listener "tcp" {
    purpose = "proxy"
    tls_disable = true
    address = "PUBLIC IP"
}

worker {
  name = "worker-1"
  description = "Worker 1"
  controllers = [
    "10.0.0.10",
  ]

  public_addr = "PUBLIC IP"

  tags {
    type   = ["prod"]
    region = ["uk-1"]
  }
}

Controller Config

disable_mlock = true
controller {
  name = "controller"
  description = "controller"
  database {
      url = "postgresql://boundary:PASSWORD@127.0.0.1:5432/boundary"
  }
  public_cluster_addr = "boundary.domain"
}

listener "tcp" {
  address = "0.0.0.0"
  purpose = "api"
  tls_disable = true
}
listener "tcp" {
  address = "0.0.0.0"
  purpose = "cluster"
}


listener "tcp" {
  address = "0.0.0.0"
  purpose = "ops"
  tls_disable = true
}

Hi @WhyAydan, Boundary sets up a proxy between your local machine, the worker, and your host. So when you are trying to connect, you just need to connect to your localhost+port and not the worker’s IP or host’s IP.

For example:

ssh [username]@127.0.0.1 -p [port]

If you are using a different client for a different protocol, you will just need to supply 127.0.0.1 and the port number.
