Hi,

I was trying to start an ubuntu dev install to work on my theme’s new version. It’s the server version of the OS so I cannot directly access Firefox. I can’t run a normal install because :80 is taken by Pi-hole (and setting up nginx is going to cause more problems than its worth).

If I go to it’s local IP and :4200, it says it can’t connect:

Is there a way to get it to run on 0.0.0.0:4200 (or for this matter 192.168.0.24:4200)? Thanks!

Its risky, cause you don’t want to open this to the world…

I think this does a reasonable job at answering?

The machine isn’t forwarded, it won’t be open to the internet.

My takeaway from the AI was `--b 0.0.0.0`, will try that when I can

Still doesn’t seem to work right?
