How to get goestoolsmon to listen to wlan? #1

I am trying to get goestoolsmon working on a headless Pi4 running goesrecv and am running into difficulty. It seems that it may be serving the monitoring statistics on the loopback or localhost interface. Is there a way to get it to use all network interfaces-wlan, eth0, etc?

I had a little bit of trouble installing on a Pi running buster. I needed to do a sudo apt install libffi-dev before the pip3 stuff. Also, doing pip3 install python3 resulted in an error message. It appeared there was already a working installation of python3 so I omitted that from the pip3 install.

My intent on installing this tool was to have it running on the machine that is receiving the weather satellite images, which will be sitting in a PVC tube bolted to the pole that the dish is mounted to. In reading through the python code-I am definitely a long ways from a python expert, it looks like the intent was for this code to run on a different machine than is hosting the receiver. I changed a few lines to achieve my goal. I replaced all IP addresses with "127.0.0.1..." keeping the port numbers. I changed the following line: app.run_server(debug=False, use_reloader=False) to: app.run_server(debug=False, use_reloader=False, host='0.0.0.0')

I have also changed the title using the following: app = dash.Dash(name, update_title='GOES receiver statistics LIVE', title='GOES receiver statistics')

When the app is "Live" the title is "GOES receiver statistics LIVE", When the app is not running the title changes to"GOES receiver statistics"
