Config bind address

[koehn]

I'm running writefreely in a Docker container and I'd like it to bind to other than localhost:8080 (preferably 0.0.0.0:8080) so I can forward connections into it from my web server. How can I configure this?

[koehn]

never mid; it doesn't actually bind to localhost.

Could you share your Dockerfile?

@koehn would love to have such dockerfile too. Thanks!

[koehn]

You can grab a copy of the Dockerfile I use from my GitLab project. I publish it on Docker Hub at koehn/writefreely.

If the builders of Writefreely want to include it in their Git repo, they're welcome to do so. It's licensed under the AGPL.

Thanks @koehn! We are working on an official Docker image too: https://phabricator.write.as/T531

Am I missing something? How can writefreely be bound to 127.0.0.1 only for example when running behind nginx? (was about to open new issue when I saw this one)

Reopening because I think this is still unresolved, please correct me if I'm missing something here.

Current situation:

• log says 'localhost' while it does not actually bind to localhost
• binding by default to 0.0.0.0 (or ipv6 equiv in dual stack) is perhaps not the best choice

What I personally would like:

1. make the log say what it actually does
2. change the default to actually bind to localhost , or even better 127.0.0.1 / [::1]
3. add support for explicit binding (not sure how net/http interprets this, seems to be just an IP string)
