live share compatibility or other possibility for remote view of a plot? about httpgd HOT 4 CLOSED

Remote access should work. Try using:

httpgd(host="0.0.0.0")

And then connect to either the public IP or your host name.

I am not familiar with live share, but maybe @renkun-ken knows more about that.
If it has a HTTP based API, support should be possible.

from httpgd.

If you are using azure (or any other cloud VM provider) to share plot, you might need to use a fixed port and set up the network rules to allow traffic from/to that port.

from httpgd.

I think they are referring to this: https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/de/services/live-share/

I can not find any API for this extension.
I would recommend sharing the plot with a fixed port just like @renkun-ken said.

from httpgd.

setting host to 0.0.0.0 was the solution to get access from outside the network. Thanks @nx10

Now I just need to figure out, why I am getting a connection refused when connecting via domain instead of external IP

This is still not ideal, as I want to have plots visible for online classrooms and having them open up a extra browser window is a hassle. But I guess this is more a limit of Live Share. Sharing the http server in Live Share seems to only work with Azure, which I do not have and even then it wouldn't let me just have a plot be visible after it's been generated...

Thanks for the help figuring out the remote access :)
