I keep forgetting how to do this so I’m writing it down in the vain hope I may commit it to memory.
The problem
You want to access your locally running dev server on another machine on your local network or maybe even from a virtual machine. whatevs.
The solution
Start your dev server with this extra program argument (you can find this under “debug configurations” in eclipse):
--address=0.0.0.0
Now remember it you stupid brain.
Gradle users
If you’re using Gradle then you need to set it in httpAddress like this:
appengine {
httpAddress = "0.0.0.0"
httpPort = 8888
downloadSdk = true
