⁠Connecting to Headless Crashplan Pro Client

Once you have installed and started your Docker Crashplan Instance you will need to connect to it via a GUI from a remote device (Generally a PC) to configure the actual backups.

You will need the information contained in the .ui_info file on the headless server and update the file on your PC:

On your server run the following:

docker exec crashplan cat /var/lib/crashplan/.ui_info

Copy the information and then update your PC based on the following format. Location of .ui_info (below) is dependant on the OS of your PC.

<port>,<token>,<ipaddress_of_server>

Update the file and save. Once complete, restart the CrashPlan service/daemon on your remote management device and login. You should now be connected to your Docker Instance of CrashPlan.
