How to setup spring-boot to allow access to the webserver from outside IP addresses

Question

I have been looking into how to setup tomcat within spring-boot to allow access from outside IP addresses. Currently I can view the UI from locaho

Answer 1

Since so many people have viewed this question. The resolution was to make sure the firewall was configured correctly on the hosting CentOS machine and not set the server address explicitly.

INCORRECT SETUP

This failed previously with the firewall incorrectly setup

server.port=8081
server.address=192.168.0.93

Once the firewall is correctly setup you do not need to specify the server.address just the port.

CORRECT SETUP

server.port=8081

This allowed me to access the application correctly from other systems using its ip.
