How to Connect to Remote Realm Server with Realm Browser

I have a Realm Object Server (v. 1.0) running on an Ubuntu server. Am I supposed to be able to connect to it via the Realm Browser app?

Here is what I've tried.

File > Open Sync URL...

Then I enter my realm sync URL that I use in my iOS app. I also enter the username and password for one of my app users. enter image description here

This sync URL and username/password work just fine in my app, but when I use them in the Realm Browser, I get a Realm couldn't be opened error:

Any ideas what I might be doing wrong? The Realm logs on my server don't show anything new when I make this attempt to connect.

Solution

  • I had the same issue. The solution was to download the new version of the Realm Browser (v2.0.1) Here is the link: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/realm-browser/id1007457278?mt=12

    Also if the username/password do not work please try using the Access Token, you should be able to find it under: "/etc/realm/". Just use: "cat /etc/realm/admin_token.base64" it will print the token.
