question
How do I host a flask app on my ubuntu 14.04 lts os (nginx-gunicorn) that other users (windows machines) can get to it using my computer name? I'm plugged into the windows network and the computer name is 'argonaut'.
Currently
i have access to the app, but other computers do not. However, if I run the app from a windows computer using the flask development web-server, other computers have access to the app. What is the difference?
again, if
i host on ubuntu
I have access but others do not when using
http://argonaut:8000
if i host on a windows machine
Everyone in the network can access the site using (desired access-but i don't want use windows)
http://argonaut:8000
I'm not sure where to start investigating.
My Flask run.py
from flask import Flask
from werkzeug.contrib.fixers import ProxyFix
app = Flask(__name__)
@app.route('/')
def hello():
return "Hellooxx world!"
app.wsgi_app = ProxyFix(app.wsgi_app)
if __name__ == '__main__':
app.run(host='0.0.0.0')
i set host='0.0.0.0' hoping that it would be accessible to everyone.
when i run
chet@argonaut:~$ netstat -tupln | grep ':8000'
