Loxone Local Webpage Hosting On-Device

[S Rokocakau]

Hi,

Has anyone here had success to insert scripts into the Miniserver?

I am trying to write a locally hosted webpage into the Miniserver. Anyone has any advise?

Any constructive advise is appreciated.

Thanks,

Sam

Hi,

As with most 'odd' solutions it's best to ask why you want to do this in the first place? What are you trying to achieve?

You say you want to host a 'web page' on the Miniserver which IMHO is a crazy idea. It's a home automation device and not designed to host web pages (sure, it has a rudimentary web server for it's own UI & REST services but hardly up to much else). Maybe you are trying to do something Loxone specific with your 'web page' and think there's no harm in putting that page on the Miniserver? Either way, I imagine you would be far better off putting this 'web page' on another machine in your LAN. If you don't have another machine, get a cheap mini PC or Raspberry Pi (or clone).

If it's a matter of you thinking you need to serve a page from the Miniserver because it's where you have a DMZ or the only port forward into your LAN from the outside internet then IMHO that's also a bad idea, sort out your external access. Personally we use Wireguard to allow access to our LAN which is much more secure than leaving a port forwarded to your Miniserver. This would leave you able to send requests to your public IP on port 80 (yerch!) or 443 (better) to wherever in you like inside your LAN.

Hi,

I am working on a retrofit project for a HVAC system that uses Bacnet MS/TP communication. Been looking for information on this interfacing but found haven't found a solution yet.

I am resorting to now creating a local webpage to point the Bacnet info to it so I can use virtual http inputs.

Finished the local webpage hosting and pointing them to miniserver HTTP inputs stage.

Currently working on extracting information from the VAVS and pointing them to my miniserver via HTTP inputs.

Gonna try to host a webpage on the miniserver for to have the Bacnet info point.

Erm... OK. Noting that searching for 'Bacnet gateway' returns many results, but I get that sometimes it's more fun to tinker.

Good luck and let us know if you get it working.
