When starting live server the ip is a loop back, it's not an address I can access using another device on the same network.

Is there any way to achieve this?

Hey @misterybodon You can achieve this (I have observed an issue with code, but you can make it work -Kindaa Hacky)

Assuming that you're running live-server with a json config or a .js file (see README)

Keep log-level as 3
it will print all the network interfaces attached
From there you can see the URL to use across your devices
Note: Make sure that you keep host address as : 0.0.0.0 (within your Network/Router)
Start your live-server
See the output

@chaitanyak59 this is perfect, thank you! For anyone else who finds this thread, you can achieve the same thing with the CLI via the --verbose flag:

live-server --verbose
