Local Network Access

These changes will work for accessing a local deploy on another device on the same network.

  1. Find the IP of the machine running vets-api and vets-website, i.e 192.168.x.x. The IP of the machine may look like 10.0.x.x or 172.16.x.x instead

    1. Mac
      1. System Preferences > Network
      2. Click the connection you are using to connect to the internet
      3. Look for Status, underneath the laptop's IP address will be listed, i.e 192.168.x.x
    2. Windows - https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4026518/windows-10-find-your-ip-address

  2. Run vets-website so that devices on your local network can access it

    yarn watch --env.host 0.0.0.0 --env.public 198.162.x.x:3001

  3. In settings.local.yml

    1. Add http://192.168.x.x:3000 and http://192.168.x.x:3001 to web_origin
    2. Add "192.168.x.x" to virtual_hosts
    3. Set virtual_host_localhost to 192.168.x.x
    # For CORS requests; separate multiple origins with a comma
web_origin: http://192.168.x.x:3000, http://192.168.x.x:3001

virtual_hosts: ["127.0.0.1", "localhost", "192.168.x.x"]
virtual_host_localhost: 192.168.x.x

  4. Make sure to rebuild vets-api before starting

    make rebuild; 
make up;

  5. From a device on the same network go to 192.168.x.x:3001
