to setup the example on 0.0.0.0

[Nehereus]

• django_private_chat2 version: latest
• Django version: 3.2
• Python version: 3.8.5
• Operating System: debian 10 unstable

Description

I am striving to make the example work on the interface 0.0.0.0 so that I can deploy the instance on the server and access it through the internet. I can access the website but I failed at getting the error " Failed to fetch" and show no users nor messages.

What I Did

change the host in backendUrl from 127.0.0.1 to 0.0.0.0:8000 and the corresponding main.js as well.
I am very new to Django and these frontend frameworks. If the question is too dumb, please forgive me.
Thank you very much!

Hello, please ensure that the firewall is not blocking incoming requests on port 8000.
Also, it would be a good idea to setup some simple django project for production.

here are some guides to help you out.

Edit: Please note that backend url is also hardcoded in the example app.
You might need to change the url in the frontend app and re-compile it here:

(or just replace 'http://127.0.0.1:8000' in static/js/main.js file)

In my case it worked on live server with [server ip address]:8000,
0.0.0.0 will not work, instead write IP address of server provided with, it will workout.
Also the PORT should be constant, which in case of Heroku is not $PORT is allotted dynamically so use another server for deployment
