Bokeh server only renders on localhost and not on external client

Hello,
I have a little problem with my Bokeh server:
I want to run a Bokeh server on a linux machine.
I start bokeh on the linuxmachine like this:

user@PC$ bokeh serve ./TS_Scatter/ --port 5010 --allow-websocket-origin=*:5010
2023-09-19 14:47:49,195 Starting Bokeh server version 3.1.1 (running on Tornado 6.2)
2023-09-19 14:47:49,432 Host wildcard '*:5010' will allow connections originating from multiple (or possibly all) hostnames or IPs. Use non-wildcard values to restrict access explicitly
2023-09-19 14:47:49,432 User authentication hooks NOT provided (default user enabled)
2023-09-19 14:47:49,436 Bokeh app running at: http://localhost:5010/TS_Scatter
2023-09-19 14:47:49,436 Starting Bokeh server with process id: 6828

except for minor warnings everything looks fine, when I run it on the local host:

But when I try to access it from an external client (Windows10 PC) Nothing is rendering.
And I get a lot of errors in the web console. (see picture below)

Can anyone help me to fix this?
When i run other scripts which use idendical modules I dont have this problem…

thanks for you help in advance.

OK, apparently my posted problem is part of a stupid firefox issue. It refuses the connection (NS_ERROR_CONNECTION_REFUSED).
But now i get another error on the client side:

And i can not get around this.
help and good advise would be awesome :smiley:

Sorry for the back and forth.

I now fixed the second error. (it was a simple bokeh update) :sweat_smile:
But the first error of the original post keeps coming up. My workaround was using chrome instead of firefox, but now i get the same “connection refused”-Error like before…

This is a bug that will be fixed in the next release:

[BUG] Static paths loaded always from localhost in Bokeh 3.1.1 · Issue #13170 · bokeh/bokeh · GitHub

For now your options are;

  • downgrade to an earlier version of Bokeh
  • load BokehJS from CDN (i.e. by setting env var BOKEH_RESOURCES=cdn)

Using CDN resources is actually what I would recommend for “production” in any case, assuming you are not in an air-gapped environment.

Thank you for the super quick response. Downgrading to bokeh 3.0.3 worked good for me. And solved the
Problem. Thank you
