Cannot link it to a standalone jellyfin lxc instance #549

Closed gh-IN closed 9 months ago

gh-IN commented 9 months ago

Hi,

Thank you for developing and maintaining this app - I installed it today using "npm install -g mediatracker" command on my windows 10 pc, through powershell, and I can access the app on my web browser through "localhost:7481" or "127.0.0.1:7481". However, the page is not accessible through ":7481" on either my pc browser or other devices on my LAN, and therefore, I am not able to link its API token to a jellyfin server running on a distinct lxc in my network.

Could you please share any guidance on resolution or let me know if any additional detail is needed to investigate/resolve the issue.

P.S. I am new to this community, so please do let me know in case I am missing something obvious or in case this is not the right channel to seek resolution.

By default the server will listen on the localhost, so it won't be accessible from other computers on the network. This can be changed with an environment variable HOSTNAME:

$Env:HOSTNAME="0.0.0.0"

on PowerShell, or

set HOSTNAME=0.0.0.1

Command Prompt.

I updated README with this environment variable.

Thank you so much for the prompt resolution, the PowerShell command worked like a charm!

Will close this thread.
