Create an app accessible only on LAN

[Sepichat]

Hello,

I had a question I could not find an answer to:

"Is it possible to run a geddy app and have it accessible to LAN users?".

I just wanted to create a small app that I could share with colleagues at work.

I don't really see the point in deploying it in the cloud as it is something that would be used by very few users and would have no sense for someone outside my company.

Thanks!

Sure. I have a raspberry pi on my local network that I run my local development stuff on for fun.

Just run the app on an IP address that other machines on your LAN can find. By default Geddy will listen for requests on any IP address. (You can use the --hostname option if you want to specify an IP.

Some companies run a local DNS server for the LAN -- getting your LAN app a hostname there would make it easier for people to find it, since they wouldn't have to remember an IP address.

It's working just fine at home when I try to access my app through the IP address.

What got me confused was that at work it was not working when I tried to access my computer using its hostname.

I'll try again using the IP address tomorrow. I was wondering if an iPlanet server running on the same machine could mess up somehow, but that would be very strange I guess.

Thanks again for the help and great job guys!
