Get Wildfly

Download latest Wildfly server: http://wildfly.org/downloads/

Unzip it and launch the server in standalone mode:

$wildfly/bin/standalone.sh

You can test the server on http://localhost:8080

Enable remote access

By default you can only access your server locally. You need to adjust the binding interface and hostname.

Quick fixes

Since there are a lot of files to edit you can use sed. See below for detail explanations.

## Adjust binding
# replace '172.16.100.61' by your own IP @
# 
sed 's/127.0.0.1/172.16.100.61/g' -i $wildfly/domain/configuration/host.xml
sed 's/127.0.0.1/172.16.100.61/g' -i $wildfly/standalone/configuration/standalone.xml
sed 's/127.0.0.1/172.16.100.61/g' -i $wildfly/standalone/configuration/standalone-ha.xml
sed 's/127.0.0.1/172.16.100.61/g' -i $wildfly/standalone/configuration/standalone-full.xml
sed 's/127.0.0.1/172.16.100.61/g' -i $wildfly/standalone/configuration/standalone-full-ha.xml

## Adjust hostname
# replace 'myServer' by your real server name (FQDN)
#
sed 's/localhost/myServer/g' -i $wildfly/domain/configuration/host.xml
sed 's/localhost/myServer/g' -i $wildfly/standalone/configuration/standalone.xml
sed 's/localhost/myServer/g' -i $wildfly/standalone/configuration/standalone-ha.xml
sed 's/localhost/myServer/g' -i $wildfly/standalone/configuration/standalone-full.xml
sed 's/localhost/myServer/g' -i $wildfly/standalone/configuration/standalone-full-ha.xml

Relaunch the server:

$wildfly/bin/standalone.sh

You should see the following logs:

...
Undertow HTTP listener default listening on /172.16.100.61:8080
...
Http management interface listening on http://172.16.100.61:9990/management
Admin console listening on http://172.16.100.61:9990
...

Binding interface

Edit your configuration file

vim $wildfly/domain/configuration/host.xml

Adjust the bindings:

<interfaces>
   <interface name="management">
       <inet-address value="${jboss.bind.address.management:127.0.0.1}"/>
   </interface>
   <interface name="public">
       <inet-address value="${jboss.bind.address:127.0.0.1}"/>
   </interface>
   <interface name="unsecure">
        <!-- Used for IIOP sockets in the standard configuration. To secure JacORB you need to setup SSL -->
        <inet-address value="${jboss.bind.address.unsecure:127.0.0.1}"/>
   </interface>
</interfaces>

Replace 127.0.0.1 by the IP you'd like to use, ex: 192.168.1.100.

hostname

Edit your configuration file

vim $wildfly/standalone/configuration/standalone.xml

Adjust the hostname:

<host name="default-host" alias="localhost">
     ....
</host>

replace localhost by your server name (FQDN), ex: nuc-media-center.daxiongmao.eu
