"If you are running in a headless environment, please do not use the open flag"

[kirkjaa]

Hello,
I had no issue running this from my local environment, however as I tried to install this on DO Server:
I'm trying to have this run on a server and yes it gave me this error where I can't access the application on port 8080. Where to omit the open flag ?

Hello,
I'm still eagerly await on some form or fashion of contructive support from your opensource team. Basically people need to be able to install this into a headless environment on a server. And if you can run this on a laptop it's pretty hard to share this your geo data set with a team. So yes document on installation on a server would be good. Thanks for reading and it would be great to reply. @heshan0131

@kirkjaa I haven't tried running it on a server, following webpack-dev-server source code Can you try delete --open in examples/demo-app/packge.json and see if that fixes it?

[kirkjaa]

@heshan0131 I deleted --open in both examples/demo-app/packge.json and website it runs now without the headless message but still can't access from the server. So I have to figure it our from webpack-dev-server source code ? I supposed to get it working on server URL or IP address. Thanks anyway for the suggestion.

@kirkjaa

This should be your fix.

"start": "webpack-dev-server --progress --hot --port 8009 --host 0.0.0.0"

Basically you need to set the --host flag to be 0.0.0.0 (ie. not localhost). This is working fine for me on AWS w/ Ubuntu 16.04. Just make sure that you're also allowing inbound requests to your server as well.

edit: you can find this in the package.json file

@nkochanek Sorry for a late reply since other project preoccupied my time for the past couple of days. I can vouched 100% your tip rocks ! I got it working now on DO Ubuntu 16.04 node 9. Thank you and your tip was probably the most helpful I got from this repo LOL

@ heshan0131我删除了 - 在示例/ demo-app / packge.json和网站中打开它现在运行时没有无头消息，但仍然无法从服务器访问。所以我必须从webpack-dev-server源代码中找到它们？我应该让它在服务器URL或IP地址上工作。无论如何，谢谢你的建议。

I have taken your approach, but it still doesn't work.
