Port forward not showing server screen and not able to control.

    Hi there,
    On local network with the tinypilot default URL I’m able to connect and control the server(another computer) however when I try to setup port forwarding I cannot see the server screen and can’t control anything. I am able to see the tinypilot UX and login to my account however I don’t see the screen or the controls. I installed ufw and enabled a port also did all the necessary steps but couldn’t get it working. And after some time of trying and editing etc/…/default file for the server I started getting 502 and not sure how I can resolve that. Can someone help me with that issue?

      Hi @saitdinc44, I'm sorry you're running into this issue setting up port forwarding.

      And after some time of trying and editing etc/…/default file for the server I started getting 502 and not sure how I can resolve that.

      I'm unsure exactly which files you've changed, so it's difficult to give you a great process to restoring them. The best option here may be to perform a factory reset to get your TinyPilot back up and running in a known state before trying to make more progress.

      I'd strongly recommend using a third-party cloud access tool instead of port forwarding. Tailscale works well in most TinyPilot use cases.

      Please let me know if you have any questions.
