how do i run a development rails app / website on an ipod


I have a app / site that i am running on my local imac and i want to test it on my ipad browser.

Can connect to my imac localhost rails app throught the wifi with my ipad ? If so how!! ?

My app is a multi tenant app that uses subdomains and so i use the hosts file on my my to point for example achme.mycompany.dev to localhost.

How do i do this on the ipad to goto achme.mycompany.dev in the browser and it runs the local app on my imac ?

Hope this all makes sense! Please help.

best regards Rick


Solution

  • I am hoping that your macbook and iPad are on same network. Now go to "Open network preference". Check screenshot.

    You will see an ip.

    enter image description here

    then from ipad open: your_ip:3000
