A feature to override the webserver address about bentodev HOT 4 CLOSED

In the documentation https://github.com/getbento/bentodev#id8 you can change the host and port. I also believe there may be issues on Windows you may have to use localhost instead of 0.0.0.0. Also port 5000 may have been in use at the time of you starting the program.

please open if you feel that your problem still persists, however this feature already exists

@jimiwhite1020 if I recall you were working on a virtual machine with port forwarding. While I do not know your current machine's status it was working previous (I assume) and thus it is likely that another program is using port 5000 on the Windows side. Would check this? Would also check that your virtual machine's host and port tunnel are correct / or change them. But this is a separate issue from bentodev feature

I had created a vagrant box with a private network using a specific IP and It worked fine.

http://<vagrant box static ip>:<port number>

The problem is, when I need to test ssl connection, "https". Can I configure the bentodev, so that it binds https://<host>:<port> as well as http?
(It's necessary to test geolocation. https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2016/04/geolocation-on-secure-contexts-only)

If not, I need to use localhost instead, something like http://localhost:5000 that is treated as ssl connection.
So I started using the "forwarded_port", and accessed the vagrant like http://localhost:5000.
Now, do you think the bentodev should bind "localhost"? No, it doesn't work. It should bind the private ip assigned or "0.0.0.0" for any ip.
This is the REAL ISSUE. When I browse http://localhost:5000, the html is loading. But all asset urls are wrong like http://0.0.0.0/... which are not working.

Actually, I have locally edited the environment.py like this. It's working great! 😜

...
LOCAL_URL = 'http://{}:{}/'.format(LOCAL_HOST, LOCAL_PORT)
if 'SERVER_URL' in user_settings:
    LOCAL_URL = user_settings['SERVER_URL']
...

Here is the config.json file:

...
"HOST": "0.0.0.0",
"PORT": "5000",
"SERVER_URL": "http://localhost:5000/"
