I have a Chromebook with a Debian chroot command-line environment installed. From Debian, I run a http server (similar to Python's SimpleHTTPServer), and it works perfectly when I navigate to localhost:8000
or 192.168.1.67:8000
from within Chrome OS (i.e. the same physical device).
How can I view these same pages with my phone or other devices on my home network?
What I tried:
- simply navigating to 192.168.1.67:8000 from my phone
- simply navigating to 192.168.1.67 (no port number) from my phone
- messing with the proxy settings from within Chrome OS
- adjusting router settings (it would not let me)
So far all I see on my phone is a "not found" error.
Ideally I could tweak some setting from within Debian or install a program (Nginx? Squid? I don't know where to start) to allow devices in my home network to access what's currently going to localhost.
192.168.1.67
) then it is most likely already bound to that IP. I would guess that perhaps a firewall is blocking external connections. Also, does your phone have a192.168.1.X
IP address as well?
