The solution described here works for me.

I did the following on the internal host where Grafana is installed:

• Configured Apache (on port 80) as reverse proxy to Grafana (on port 3000)
• Setup the virtualhost to add/set the required headers to login automatically as user admin

Relevant section from /etc/grafana/grafana.ini:

[auth.proxy]
enabled = true
;header_name = X-WEBAUTH-USER
;header_property = username
auto_sign_up = false

Apache config extract (you will need to enable mod_proxy, mod_proxy_http and mod_headers for this to work):

<VirtualHost *:80>
        ProxyPreserveHost On
        ProxyRequests Off
        ProxyPass / http://localhost:3000/
        ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:3000/
        RequestHeader set "X-WEBAUTH-USER" "admin"
</VirtualHost>

On a separate Apache instance exposed to more networks I did the following:

• Configured Apache as reverse proxy to the internal instance
• Restricted access from specific IP addresses
• Setup a rule to redirect requests to the root of the website (and only those) to a specific dashboard

This is how the Apache config looks like (requires mod_proxy, mod_proxy_http and mod_alias; IP addresses, host names etc. changed)

<VirtualHost *:80>
        ServerName sub.example.org
        ServerAlias www.sub.example.org
        <Location />
            Require ip 192.0.2.0/24
            Require ip 203.0.113.0/24
            Require ip 2001:0db8:85a4::/64
            Require ip 2001:0db8:85a5::/64
            RedirectMatch ^/$ /dashboard/db/mydashboard
        </Location>
        ProxyPreserveHost On
        ProxyRequests Off
        ProxyPass / http://[2001:0db8:85a3::aaaa:8a2e:0370:7334]/
        ProxyPassReverse / http://[2001:0db8:85a3::aaaa:8a2e:0370:7334]/
</VirtualHost>

Using a public IPv6 address on the internal host allows the whole thing to work with just a few firewall rules, without the need to mess with NAT or a VPN.

• On Raspbian, you don't need to install the 8192cu driver manually, as it comes with the distribution


• To avoid disconnection issues, you need however to disable power management. This needs to be done in two places. First, this is what I have in /etc/modprobe.d/8192cu.conf:

  options 8192cu rtw_power_mgnt=0 rtw_enusbss=0



• This alone did not prevent the issue. I also had to add this entry to /etc/network/interfaces:

  auto wlan0
  allow-hotplug wlan0
  iface wlan0 inet dhcp
  wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
  wireless-power off
  iface default inet dhcp

Somehow, most of the time my Arduino-based EggBot clone outputs one byte of undetermined garbage before saying "Ready". This caused gcode-sender.rb to fail with "invalid byte sequence in UTF-8 (ArgumentError)".

Eventually I found the solution in a post by Wayne Brissette here: https://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/4409620. Basically you need to treat the string as binary instead of utf-8. This small change in the code that waits for the robot to be ready fixed the issue for me:

--- gcode-sender.rb.orig
+++ gcode-sender.rb
@@ -30,7 +30,7 @@
   sp.read_timeout = 0 # Necessary for Windows.
   while line = sp.gets
     print line
-    break if line.match(/^Ready/)
+    break if line.force_encoding("BINARY").match(/^.?Ready/)
   end
   File.foreach(filename) do |line|
     line.chomp!

Recent changes introduced with iOS 10 prevent you from mounting an iPhone on a regular Ubuntu installation.

The PPA by Martin Salbaba used to fix the issue, but it hasn't been updated in a while, and now when I connect my iPhone (running iOS 10.2.1) the pictures are no longer accessible, although the documents are still there.

This solution worked for me (Ubuntu 16.04):

- install libimobiledevice6 + dependencies from this PPA: https://launchpad.net/~martin-salbaba/+archive/ubuntu/ppa+libimobiledevice (follow the instructions there)

- install newer libimobiledevice version according to the "recipe" by A.B. here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/598940/libimobiledevice-1-2-ios-8-support-for-ubuntu-14-04-trusty

- install ifuse according to the same method:

cd ~/src/
git clone https://github.com/libimobiledevice/ifuse.git
cd ifuse/
sudo apt-get install libfuse2 libfuse-dev
./autogen.sh 
make
sudo checkinstall

You can now mount your iPhone like this:

mkdir ~/mnt
ifuse ~/mnt

I assume the same procedure would work for an iPad too.
