Jed,
Thanks again for you development of Bob. I think a lot of users will
benefit from the 0.0.0.0 setting as a quick enable of lan accessible wikis,
this being a key feature of a server implementation on tiddlywiki. Bob exe
is the easiest way (at least I know on windows) to enable a server, so by
introducing this I think you make bob open to more users. I do think there
is more that can be done to document Bob better, with a little less jargon,
but it is understandable this is not so straightforward, given the broad
number of features bob enables.
Since I use multiple servers on my desktop from apache, TiddlyServer,
TiddlyDestop, Vanilla node and Bob I need to manage this more than others.
As a result I discovered how easy it is to install additional IP addresses
on my WIndows 10, and I now host bob on one of these additional addresses,
as a result I do not want to use the 0.0.0.0 shortcut.
I have it working, now I can access bob on the lan at 192.168.1.80 (no port
specified) and even at a local DNS name bob.local
"serverlnfo": {
"host": "192.168.1.84",
"ipAddress": "192.168.1.84",
"port": "80"
}
"ws-server": {
"host": "192.168.1.84",
"port": "80"
}
This seems to be working for me, But I am a little confused about the need
to set 192.168.1.84 in three places.
- Could you provide a little more info on the difference between
serverInfo and ws-server, and host vs IP address?
- Also when I run bob exe it still opens 127.0.0.1 in the browser
window, how can I change this address please?
Thanks in advance
Tony
