I'm sure this has been asked a million times

I’m simply trying to set up ghost on my own local home network. I don’t have an actual domain name, just the internal IP address. I can get ghost set up but can only access it from the machine I installed it on. When I try from any other machine on my network I get “This site cannot be reached”.

I set ghost up on a machine with the ip address of 192.168.1.91 - the installation added the port 2368 and so when it came to the nginx installation step it simply skipped over it. I can access nginx from any computer via “http://192.168.1.91” and get the default nginx page but cannot figure out how to get to ghost.

I’m sure this has been discussed at length but I can’t find any full tutorial / example about using ip addresses instead of full domain names…

Accessing development install on local network

@Christopher_Rice you’ll also need to change your host config to listen on your computer’s IP address, or 0.0.0.0, eg: { "url": "http://{your-ip}:2368", "server": { "host": "0.0.0.0", "port: 2368 } } If you don’t do that then node will only listen on the local loopback interface (127.0.0.1) so any requests coming in from a different network interface like your wi-fi/network card won’t reach your Ghost process.
