This tutorial explains to you how to start a standalone WildFly Server. The commands are similar for Windows and Linux environments.

In order to start the Standalone WildFly Server on Linux we have to run the following command:

$WildFly_HOME/bin/standalone.sh

However, if the default ports (8080, 9990, 8443) are used, you can use the following command:

nohup ./standalone.sh -Djboss.socket.binding.port-offset=1 &

This will start the Standalone WildFly Server on the following ports: 8081, 9991, 8444.

After startup, you should be able to access the web server at http://localhost:8080 and the Admin Console at http://localhost:9990/console.

However, if the port 8080 or 9990 is used, you can start the WildFly server on another ports:

./standalone.sh -Djboss.socket.binding.port-offset=1

After startup, you should be able to access the web server at http://localhost:8081 and the Admin Console at http://localhost:9991/console.

If you want, in addition to access WildFly from a link using hostname instead localhost (for instance, http://idam:8081), you have to bind the IP address behind "idam" hostname:

./standalone.sh -Djboss.socket.binding.port-offset=1 -b=192.168.57.134

WildFly "management" interface can be bound to a specific IP address as well:

./standalone.sh -bmanagement=192.168.57.134

Of course, you can bind WildFly "public" (HTTP listener) and "management" interface together as to all available IPs on that machine:

./standalone.sh -b=0.0.0.0 -bmanagement=0.0.0.0
