How can I expose my local dev server to other devices in the same network?

I am not able to access the local dev version on other devices.

Hi @Sagar Kapoor. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave: ---------------------- To expose your local Nuxt dev server to other devices on the same network, you need to adjust the host configuration. By default, Nuxt's dev server only listens on localhost, which restricts access to the local machine. Here's how you can make it accessible to other devices: 1. Modify your nuxt.config.ts file: Add the following configuration to your nuxt.config.ts:

export default defineNuxtConfig({
  devServer: {
    port: 3000,     
    host: '0.0.0.0' // This allows connections from any IP
  }
})

export default defineNuxtConfig({
  devServer: {
    port: 3000,     
    host: '0.0.0.0' // This allows connections from any IP
  }
})

2. Alternatively, you can set environment variables: You can also set the HOST environment variable when running the dev server:

HOST=0.0.0.0 npm run dev

HOST=0.0.0.0 npm run dev

3. Using the CLI command: When running the nuxi dev command, you can specify the host directly:

npx nuxi dev --host 0.0.0.0

npx nuxi dev --host 0.0.0.0

By setting the host to 0.0.0.0, you allow connections from any IP address on your local network. After making these changes, your Nuxt dev server should be accessible from other devices on the same network using your machine's local IP address (e.g., <http://192.168.1.2:3000>). Remember to ensure your firewall settings allow incoming connections on the specified port (default is 3000). Nuxt Documentation - nuxi dev (https://nuxt.com/docs/api/commands/dev) provides more information on the available options for the dev command, including host and port configuration. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------
