Windows Security Alert on first run of Endless Key #135

Open wjt opened 1 year ago

wjt commented 1 year ago

After the app is installed (and I believe also after it is reinstalled, and perhaps also after clearing the app data), when it is first launched, and after selecting a content pack, the following security alert is shown:

image (10)

Windows Defender Firewall has blocked some features of this app

I believe without proof that this is secret code for "The Kolibri server is trying to listen over the network, not just on localhost, and Windows doesn't let it do this by default".

We have fixed this once before, in https://github.com/endlessm/endless-key-app/pull/20. It was then un-fixed in passing in https://github.com/endlessm/endless-key-app/commit/83414d5f99195b943ef109cd6b0fec6b0274f053.

I think fixing the IP as 127.0.0.1 with the environment variable KOLIBRI_LISTEN_ADDRESS is good enough:

Tested on v 6.38.5.0 I can still see the Security Alert.
