| 494685791 | MDU6SXNzdWU0OTQ2ODU3OTE= | 574 | Improve usage description of --host option | 132978 | closed | 0 | 2 | 2019-09-17T15:12:12Z | 2019-11-01T21:58:17Z | 2019-11-01T21:57:54Z | NONE | It would be nice if the `--host` option had a clearer description. I tried to get datasette running on an AWS instance and it took a while to realize it was only listening on localhost. So I wanted to make it listen on an non-localhost interface and tried giving a couple of values to `--host` (a host name, then an interface name), but none of them did. In the end I read the source to see that the option is passed to `uvicorn` and looked at the uvicorn docs, which also didn't help. Then I searched the web for "example running datasette on a host" which led me to https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/514 where I saw someone using `-h 0.0.0.0`. I tried that and it works. That usage could be mentioned somewhere, and might save someone else some time. | 107914493 | issue | {"url": "https://api.github.com/repos/simonw/datasette/issues/574/reactions", "total_count": 0, "+1": 0, "-1": 0, "laugh": 0, "hooray": 0, "confused": 0, "heart": 0, "rocket": 0, "eyes": 0} | completed |
