How to open task-web to remote local machines in the same network? #117

Closed hakanu closed 5 years ago

hakanu commented 5 years ago

Hi there,

Great tool, I have been using a lot in my desktop. However, I'd like to reach to task-web from my other LAN machines. For example I run task-web on http://192.168.0.12:5678/ It's all good in the same machine. But I can not open the same address on the same network on another device. I tried running task-web with different flags.

Do you know how I can do that?

Thanks.

Which exactly command do you use to run task-web?

hakanu commented 5 years ago

I tried different flag combos of task-web however it didn't make much difference. This is what i use currently: task-web --host 192.168.0.12 --env production -F -d

I'm not able to test it in LAN, but I'm sure you need to use 0.0.0.0. In this case task-web will accept connections from any IPs

No luck there. I have retried that doesn't work. Ultimate goal is remotely seeing task-web from outside network via port forwarding. Fw rules are set, my python servers are just able to work remotely on WAN and LAN but task-web is not. Feel like it's a webrick issue maybe?

I did it in the past. Task-web was running on a laptop and was accessible from phone in the same LAN. I'll try it tonight.

Thanks looking forward to it!

any update here?

Zebradil commented 5 years ago

Sorry, I was overwhelmed last days. So, for me it works.

  1. Didn't have taskwarrior-web installed, so run gem install taskwarrior-web.
  2. On my laptop I ran task-web without any additional flags.
  3. Find my laptop's IP in LAN: it is 192.168.0.150.
  4. On my phone go to 192.168.0.150:5678.
  5. Done

Maybe some firewall restrictions on your host machine?

Zebradil commented 5 years ago

I'm on Mac by the way, firewall is disabled in system settings.

Thanks for confirming that it works out of box.

This did the trick. I'm using ubuntu subsystem in windows. https://www.nextofwindows.com/allow-server-running-inside-wsl-to-be-accessible-outside-windows-10-host

Now I'm able to see my tasks, yay!
