command line option to bind to specific network interface

[allefeld]

What version of WebTorrent Desktop? (See the 'About WebTorrent' menu)
Version 0.10.0 (0.96.0)

What operating system and version?
Linux 3.16.0 (Debian 8.5)

This is not a bug report, but a feature request.

Please include a command line option (not just a preference, to be scriptable) to bind WebTorrent Desktop to a specific network interface. Like the -i --bind-address-ipv4 and -I --bind-address-ipv6 options of transmission-daemon.

I'm not sure I understand why this needs to be a command line option. None of the other options in WebTorrent Desktop are currently exposed via a command line option. How are you using WebTorrent Desktop in a script? Can webtorrent-cli work for you?

[allefeld]

@feross, the reason is that the interface is not always the same one, and reconfiguring manually is tedious. So I'd like to write a shell script wrapper that figures out the interface and then starts WebTorrent Desktop.
webtorrent-cli, maybe, I'll check it out. Thanks!

Thanks for explaining. If you're interested in sending a PR for this, I'll take a look at it. But I think this kind of advanced feature probably should be added to webtorrent-cli.
