Can't access local galaxy on different devices over the network

1

Hi, all there,
I’m trying to build a local galaxy that anybody can access with different devices on the same internet, so I set the uwsgi part of galaxy.yml as ‘http: 127.0.0.1:8080’, then it showed :
#####################################
Galaxy server instance ‘main.web.1’ is running
Starting server in PID 9063.
serving on http://127.0.0.1:8080
#####################################
But with this setting, we could not access galaxy from the web browser on any other PC.
Could you give me some advice on how to set of my galaxy or linux environment?

What happens if you set it to: 0.0.0.0:8080? :slightly_smiling_face:

still can’t connect, is there any protocol to follow up? ::

I am no expert but in that case the first thing that comes to mind are firewalls etc. As a test you can try to ping the server/computer that is running galaxy from another computer in the same network.

EDIT:

A protocol to follow could be:
https://docs.galaxyproject.org/en/latest/admin/production.html

or

But I think it is better you get this working first. (Do keep in mind that if you want to use galaxy with multiple users you need to check out that galaxy production page)

EDIT2:
Also make sure you restart galaxy after the change

HI， Have you success?

Generally your computer has to be reachable over the network for the other devices to be able to see your services like Galaxy. That means it has to have an IP address that the others know and can send requests too. This is very much out of scope of what Galaxy community can help you with since we have no knowledge of your network’s topology. I recommend you contact your network administrator and ask for help.
