Setting up the Debian 10 Image on a BBG without the KiwiSDR Board

Hello,

I ordered a BBG and the KiwiSDR board. I received the BBG, but the KiwiSDR board is still on backorder and won't be here for several more weeks. But, in anticipation of receiving the board, I would like to get things set up, so I imaged the BBG with the Debian 10 KiwiSDR image, and rebooted. I can ssh into the BBG just fine, and it is seemingly operating normally; however, no matter what, I cannot get to the web interface admin page (LocalIP:8073/admin). I get the "ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED" error.

I can see that the kiwid.service is running:

root@kiwisdr:/home/debian# systemctl list-units --type=service --state=running

But, I'm wondering if I won't be able to do any config via the web interface until the actual KiwiSDR board arrives and is connected to the BBG. Is the KiwiSDR board required to actually configure and run the web interface (LocalIP:8073/admin)?

Perhaps I just need to be patient until the board gets here. 🙂

Thanks!
