Having bokeh automatically listen on the network ip address

Community Support

Not sure why, but when I start bokeh-server it always only listens on localhost address (I have confirmed this with IT in my company and various tests on my machine and other machines). Is there any way to have it listen on the network IP address?

Thanks,

Josh

There is the "--ip" command line option to bokeh-server, are you saying this option is not working as expected?

Thanks,

Bryan

Additionally, if you use “–ip 0.0.0.0”, that will listen to all network interfaces on the machine.

Thank you Bryan and Peter. That worked. I didn’t know I had to be explicit about “0.0.0.0”. That makes sense.
