Hi,
I ve been adding yuagbyte webserver\_interface to the .conf file passed to yugabyted under the “master\_flags” section , but it gets overdriven and doesn’t apply! the webserver still points to the same IP address of the host!
For Tserver it works! please help.

webserver\_interface=127.0.0.1
That is the param I m trying to set for tmaster so that the UI under port 7000 cannot be accessible from the outside

Hi @maxernstscr
Please paste the full command you’re running so we can reproduce.
I believe it’s being overriden in this line [yugabyte-db/bin/yugabyted at bfff348f93b0953c46658a8ee4a76c65ff2b0785 · yugabyte/yugabyte-db · GitHub](https://github.com/yugabyte/yugabyte-db/blob/bfff348f93b0953c46658a8ee4a76c65ff2b0785/bin/yugabyted#L4310)

yugabyted.conf:
{
“master\_flags”:“hide\_dead\_node\_threshold\_mins=1,webserver\_interface=127.0.0.1”,
“tserver\_flags”:“webserver\_interface=127.0.0.1”
}
command:
export ZONE=zone4
export CONTAINER\_NAME=yugabyte-v2025
podman run -d --name $CONTAINER\_NAME
–network=host
-v /local/data/scratch/yugabyte:/home/yugabyte/$ZONE:Z

The UI at 9000 is inaccessible but the UI at 7000 is still accessible and in UI I can see that the flag “webserver\_interface” is overridden to the hostname itself
