Allow use of local url (mainly for docker usage) #97

Closed JigSawFr closed 2 years ago

JigSawFr commented 2 years ago

Hi there, In config, we are unable to use url of type: http://plex:32400 for Plex for eg. (same logic for Tautulli) In a docker environment we can reach container in the same network without the need to go on internet :) So flows remain local, if you can accept these values, it could be great, Thanks !

It can work atm by editing directly the DB with something like this:

UPDATE plex_utills SET plexurl = REPLACE(plexurl,'http://plex.url','http://plex:32400');
UPDATE plex_utills SET tautulli_server = REPLACE(tautulli_server,'https://tautulli.url','http://tautulli:8181');

But not future proof :)

if you use a local IP address it stays local and doesn't go via the internet. I use a url and because I have a local DNS server that resolves it it doesn't go out over the internet either.

Yeah but that's not what I aim, internal IP can change as container are auto created on new version available. So only possibility is to us docker dns name of container

Basically, this just works fine. No need for the workaround in the database. The address is containerName.networkName i.E http://tautulli.plex:8181/ Although it would be nice if the container Name alone could work.

This is fixed in the latest :dev container

http://container:port should now work
