How to replace the default webui by a new version?

Help Kubo
1

Hi,

I have some issues with the default webui in swarm mode (302 redirects forever). I cloned, built the latest webui and added to my IPFS node
added QmcJ6JchgpNHyuADGDCuFN4CBadEYyB2DgfBVMwJnJpEA6 build

Checked, well added: http://node_ip:8080/ipfs/QmcJ6JchgpNHyuADGDCuFN4CBadEYyB2DgfBVMwJnJpEA6/#/welcome

but http://node_ip:5001/webui still redirects to /ipfs/bafybeid26vjplsejg7t3nrh7mxmiaaxriebbm4xxrxxdunlk7o337m5sqq.

How to update the configuration to point to the new hash ?

Thanks!

Current issue with webgui:

I found swarm tutorials that go-ipfs needs to be recompiled to set the hash for the webui ( core/corehttp/webui.go).
Is it the only way ?

Can’t you just make a shortcut to the new web UI?

How does it work outside localhost? (my ipfs server is headless)

I found a solution:

curl https://ipfs.io/api/v0/get/bafybeid26vjplsejg7t3nrh7mxmiaaxriebbm4xxrxxdunlk7o337m5sqq| tar xf -
ipfs add --cid-version 1 -r bafybeid26vjplsejg7t3nrh7mxmiaaxriebbm4xxrxxdunlk7o337m5sqq

Then the default webui at least works.
