frontend-host options

[Jackiexiao]

I need to debug via a remote machine, but how can I change the port for a frontend webpage? I am currently able to access the API documentation via http://ip:8000/docs, but I cannot access the website through http://ip:3000."

I couldn't find a frontend-host option when run reflex run

Usage: reflex run [OPTIONS]

  Run the app in the current directory.

Options:
  --env [dev|prod]                The environment to run the app in.
                                  [default: dev]
  --frontend-only                 Execute only frontend.
  --backend-only                  Execute only backend.
  --frontend-port TEXT            Specify a different frontend port.
                                  [default: 3000]
  --backend-port TEXT             Specify a different backend port.  [default:
                                  8000]
  --backend-host TEXT             Specify the backend host.  [default:
                                  0.0.0.0]
  --loglevel [debug|info|warning|error|critical]
                                  The log level to use.  [default: info]
  --help                          Show this message and exit.

You can set the --frontend-port flag to change it (or set the FRONTEND_PORT environment variable).

I want to change frontend-host to 0.0.0.0 instead of localhost, not port

[Jackiexiao]

according to docs: https://reflex.dev/docs/api-reference/config/

change rxconfig.py

config = rx.Config(
    app_name="blank",
    frontend_port=8001,
    deploy_url="http://0.0.0.0:8001/",
)

But add a option frontend-host like backend-host to reflex run will be better @picklelo @masenf

I think i'm still a bit confused by this discussion... the deploy_url only affects the hosting service and the sitemap generation for export. From double checking the code, deploy_url seems to change nothing about how reflex run serves the site.

By default, the frontend should be available from other hosts without further configuration.

[Jackiexiao]

Sorry, it's my fault, and you are right. The first loading of the website took a long time, and I thought it was inaccessible. In addition, initially, my inability to access it might be due to the fact that the firewall did not open the port.

[Jackiexiao]

and from reflex run --loglevel debug, I saw

Debug:    - Local:        http://localhost:3000
App running at: http://localhost:3000

and I thought it was inaccessible at 0.0.0.0

[masenf]

I think the docs probably could be more clear on what deploy_url is actually for though. And definitely the console output suggests that Reflex is only listening on localhost.

[Jackiexiao]

Although the console prompts that it can only be accessed at localhost, I can indeed access it through an external IP. In addition, the first access on my computer waited for about 7 seconds.
