Security in caravel
Caravel
uses an authentication token printed to your terminal to provide security. This way others are not able to connect to your caravel
session and execute looper
commands as you on the remote server.
By default the token is randomly generated upon caravel
launch, but can be also set in the .token_caravel
dotfile like:
token: ABCD1234
Keep in mind that this is a less secure way of authentication as the token is exposed to ones that have the access to the .token_caravel
file. Therefore make sure to set proper read permissions for this file.
Debug/development mode
caravel -c example_caravel.yaml -d
This will trigger the unsecured mode (no URL token required); point the browser to: http://127.0.0.1:5000 (by default)
