Accessing from other machines

1. Edit the discord_friends/settings.py to reflect the following changes

   ALLOWED_HOSTS = [
       'localhost'
       '127.0.0.1'
       'your_ip_address'
   ]

   Replace your_ip_address with the IP address of host computer on your current network.

2. After this change is done run the following command python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:{PORT}
3. Try accessing {HOST_IP_ADDRESS}:{PORT} on the other device if everything is done currently then the page will load up

Note: this can be combined with the python manage.py runsslserver command to run secure connections of the server to other devices. To combine it run the following command python manage.py runsslserver --key discordfriends.development.pem --cert discordfriends.development.pem 0.0.0.0:{PORT} where the port is the where the server will run
