Where can ALLOWED_HOSTS be changed for testing?

[sdbbs]

I am trying out jawanndenn on own server, but I cannot quite get it to work.

I set up jawanndenn inside a virtualenv, where it was installed with pip3 install jawanndenn; then, I try to test it with:

$ JAWANNDENN_ALLOWED_HOSTS="mysite.com" jawanndenn --host 0.0.0.0 --port 6789

Then, when I fire up the browser at mysite.com:6789, I get Bad Request (400) in the browser, and the server terminal reports:

Invalid HTTP_HOST header: 'mysite.com:6789'. You may need to add 'mysite.com' to ALLOWED_HOSTS (['0.0.0.0', '127.0.0.1', '0.0.0.0', 'localhost']).
XX.YY.ZZ.WW- - [30/Nov/2021:11:37:59 +0000] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 400 143 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:94.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/94.0"

Eh, however, I added it here in ALLOWED_HOSTS already:

jawanndenn/lib/python3.8/site-packages/jawanndenn/settings.py:    'mysite.com',
jawanndenn/lib/python3.8/site-packages/django/conf/global_settings.py:ALLOWED_HOSTS = [ "mysite.com" ]

... and I still get the above message.

Any suggestions how can I get this running for testing?

Ok, I think I've figured it out - note that I have no Django installed standalone on the server - only pip3 install jawanndenn.

First of all, setting the environment variable JAWANNDENN_ALLOWED_HOSTS in the shell is useless - because it is explicitly set in ./jawanndenn/lib/python3.8/site-packages/jawanndenn/__main__.py:

    os.environ['JAWANNDENN_ALLOWED_HOSTS'] = ','.join([options.host,
                                                       '127.0.0.1',
                                                       '0.0.0.0',
                                                       'localhost'])

However, we have the options.host there - and that is exactly the string passed on via the --host option/switch. So, I could finally start like this:

jawanndenn --host mysite.com --port 6789

... and then when I visit mysite.com:6789 in the browser, jawanndenn works fine and I can test it.

Sounds like you figured things out already, I'll close this as "answered" 👍
