Only listening to localhost by default

[metakermit]

The Mailpile web app is listening to localhost only by default

#  lsof -i
COMMAND PID USER   FD   TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME
python   31 root    3u  IPv4 387163      0t0  TCP localhost:33411 (LISTEN)

This makes e.g. development in Vagrant/Docker difficult. The current way of changing this is a bit too complicated:

1. ./mp
2. S http_host=0.0.0.0
3. Ctrl+D
4. ./mp

Expected behaviour - listen on 0.0.0.0 by default (it is a web app after all) or at least offer an easy option to start it that way, e.g.

./mp -l 0.0.0.0:33411

or accept a config file that sets all the variables.

Why is ./mp --set http_host=0.0.0.0 not good enough?

Also, listening on anything but localhost by default is not going to happen until we have strong authentication and a fair bit of code reviews, this is not a public server app, this is a personal search engine for e-mail and provides access to large amounts of personal data.

Yup, the --set http_host=0.0.0.0 option is what I was looking for. Thanks!

OK, I added this to the README in #83 (sorry for the multiple comments, I had some trouble getting the anchor link right, so I had to ammend the commit a few times).

Just in case someone has the same problem, learn that you should use:
$ ./mp --set sys.http_host="0.0.0.0"

Not this:
$ ./mp --set http_host="0.0.0.0"

Thanks for the great project!!
