How to run meteor server on a different ip address?

Question

How can i start meteor server on a different IP address? Currently in the examples am only able to run on a localhost:3000 address.

Answer 1

Using Meteor 1.3.2.4, If your IP is 192.168.0.13 as in my case, on the terminal, type:

meteor --mobile-server 192.168.0.13

or

meteor --port 192.168.0.13:3000

And you will see the Meteor welcome page by typing

http://192.168.0.13:3000

on your browser.

Answer 2

Deploy it on another server and connect to the internet-ip of the server from outside of the internal net, or connect to the local-ip of the server from the lan.

'meteor bundle'

and read the README

Answer 3

At the moment, you can't - meteor binds to all IP addresses, but there's an issue open to add support for binding to a specific IP.

Answer 4

If you are looking to run something on another IP address (but still have the files local) you need to look into editing your vhosts file. If you are on a mac, look into Virtual Host X

The proper way to change ports with meteor is this:

meteorapp : meteor --port 5000

Answer 5

According to netstat -tapn Meteor/Node.js listens on all available IP addresses on the machine:

tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:3000            0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      9098/node

Do you have something like iptables running?

Answer 6

Actually, Meteor behaves differently in production and development environments.

Production

Use environment variable BIND_IP

Development

Use --port argument like meteor run --port 192.168.1.1:port
