node server ignores server.host config key #44

I set up a self hosted api and it works really good and it is behind a nginx ssl proxy. Port 8080 is not exposed to the internet but I would like to let it only open the port on 127.0.0.1. As described in the documetnation I set up a settings.json in the folder api/config/ with the following content after seeing that the default (127.0.0.1) wasn't used: [...]}, "server": { "host": "127.0.0.1" }, [...] But still no luck. Any idea why this is happening? System is ubuntu 20.04 LTS, node v10.19.0, api version 1.5.2

@julianroetter actually the server.host config setting is kind of redudant, I will likely remove it in the next release. The service always runs on localhost so whatever server.host is set to, you should be able to access the service locally at http://127.0.0.1:8080.

Thanks for the info. I rebooted the server because I had deactivated ipv6 but that let some other docker containers fail so I just reactivated it and now the node server binds to localhost again. I will close the ticket.
