### Please describe the problem. I am having trouble using the webapp with a setup I did on the commandline that was working fine. I have two machines: one, a server called `marcos`, is available on the internetz and I cloned a repo from there into `markov`, a workstation that is hidden behind a NAT connexion (so I can't add it as a remote). It seems that because the remote is not locally available as a git remote, the webapp is freaking out because it doesn't recognize `markov` as a proper remote. ### What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. setup git annex locally (on `marcos`) in a repository (probably `git annex init; git annex direct; git annex add .` i somewhat followed [[tips/Git_annex_and_Calibre/]]) 2. `git clone` that repo on a remote, unaccessible (NAT'd) server (`markov`) 3. start doing some git annex get, get tired, run the web app on `markov` 4. let that run over there, go back to `marcos` 5. be curious about what is going on on `markov`, run the webapp and enter the path to the repository created in step one when prompted (it's the first time i run the webapp) 6. it starts up fine, but doesn't seem to detect `markov`, marking transfers as going to the remote named `unknown` 7. click on the `unknown` link, crash 8. go back to the dashboard, crash From there on, the webapp is pretty much crashed, starting it from scratch asks me if i want to create a git annex repo. ### What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system? 4.20130921-gd4739c5 compiled and installed by hand on debian wheezy. ### Please provide any additional information below.
