when running the server in development mode we currently run it on all interfaces so it can be accessible if you are running the code from another server or from your computer and accessing it from another device.
Listening on all interfaces
| <your go server> | ---- | Internet | ----- | <you trying to access the server> |
allow connection from outside, listen on all interfaces
http.ListenAndServe("0.0.0.0:9876", ...)
Your machine - Loopback interface
| <your go server> - <you trying to access the server |
only allow connection from the inside, listen to the local interface only
http.ListenAndServe("127.0.0.1:9876", ...)
Right now the value is hard-coded to all interfaces
server.go
1038 func (s Server) Run() error {
1039 addr := fmt.Sprintf(":%s", s.cfg.Port)
1040 if s.cfg.Env == "dev" {
1041 log.Printf("local env http://localhost:%s", s.cfg.Port)
1042 addr = fmt.Sprintf("0.0.0.0:%s", s.cfg.Port)
1043 }
1044 return http.ListenAndServe(
1045 addr,
1046 middleware.HTTPSMiddleware(
1047 middleware.GzipMiddleware(
1048 middleware.LoggingMiddleware(middleware.HeadersMiddleware(s.router, s.cfg.Env)),
1049 ),
1050 s.cfg.Env,
1051 ),
1052 )
1053 }
would be awesome to have the ability to configure this via config. This also removes the annoying popup that appears whenever you run the server locally on all interfaces "allow this machine to accept incoming connections?" etc
