Hello,

I was going to post this as an Issue, but it looked like the CONTRIBUTING.md file wanted me to post here ( I hope I interpreted that correctly ).

Looks like the ruby app is only listening on localhost ( 127.0.0.1:3000 ). Where should I be looking for the configuration file to change this?

Thanks,

-TD

Sorry for the delayed response. We're using a ruby web framework called Padrino (which is a thin layer on top of the popular Sinatra framework). You can find docs here: http://www.padrinorb.com/guides/development-commands

You want the -p option. For example, if you wanted to listen to port 4000 you could start the server like this:

padrino start -p 4000

Though in production, we're using Puma (http://puma.io/) to support multiple workers. You can see configuration here: https://github.com/18F/open-data-maker/blob/dev/config/puma.rb
