Change address from 127.0.0.1 to 0.0.0.0

Code Help

Question:
I’ve changed my host to 0.0.0.0 but whenever I run the script replit says it is 127.0.0.1. What am I missing to get this corrected?

module.exports = {
  mode: 'development',
  entry: {
    bundle: path.resolve(__dirname, 'src/index.js'),
  },
  output: {
    path: path.resolve(__dirname, 'dist'),
    filename: '[name][contenthash].js',
    clean: true,
    assetModuleFilename: '[name][ext]',
  },
  devtool: 'source-map',
  devServer: {
    static: {
      directory: path.resolve(__dirname, 'dist'),
    },
    host: '0.0.0.0',
    port: 8888,
    open: true,
    hot: true,
    compress: true,
    historyApiFallback: true,
  },
  module: {
    rules: [
      {
        test: /\.scss$/,
        use: ['style-loader', 'css-loader', 'sass-loader'],
      },
      {
        test: /\.js$/,
        exclude: /node_modules/,
        use: {
          loader: 'babel-loader',
          options: {
            presets: ['@babel/preset-env'],
          },
        },
      },
      {
        test: /\.(png|svg|jpg|jpeg|gif)$/i,
        type: 'asset/resource',
      },
    ],
  },
  plugins: [
    new HtmlWebpackPlugin({
      title: 'Webpack App',
      filename: 'index.html',
      template: 'src/template.html',
    }),
    new BundleAnalyzerPlugin(),
  ],
}

oh I read it wrong XD I thought they wanted it on 127.0.0.1

My host is set to 0.0.0.0 but when I build npm gives me an output of 127.0.0.1. I’m trying to figure out why it’s not staying at 0.0.0.0 xD

Pretty sure that’s the default ip when you host anything.
If you try opening replname.majorpayne95.repl.co it (should?) work.

Right, but replit is telling me to change it to 0.0.0.0 even though it is? Maybe I’m explaining it wrong.

Every solution to this error I found said to just set my host to 0.0.0.0 but it still won’t let me use webview

when you try to open a port on host 0.0.0.0 each 0 is automatically replaced; this seems like expected behavior.

Why does webview not work then? And why does Riplet give me an error indicating my host is wrong?

Hiya @MajorPayne95, and welcome to the Replit Ask community! To answer your question, 0.0.0.0 is actually a placeholder for the default address. The default address… is… (drumroll please)

127.0.0.1! So yes, this is the normal behaviour of 0.0.0.0. To ‘fix’ it (assuming that means to have a different address):

  • change the address from 0.0.0.0 to something else
  • or, do not set the address entirely.

Happy coding! :upside_down_face:
