Access Jekyll Website across local wifi

I have created a website with jekyll. Currently I am wanting to test my website across multiple devices/computers. I have seen some tutorials and they tell me to do this:

> jekyll serve --host 192.168.0.X

But... When I do that I receive an error code stating:

jekyll 3.1.1 | Error: The Requested address is not valid in its context.
- bind (2) for 192.168.0.X:4000

Any help?

p.s Oh yeah I replaced the ".X" with a number (if that confused you)

Solution

  • That error message suggests that the IP of the computer where you are running jekyll serve is not 192.168.0.X. Make sure you are binding to the same IP where Jekyll executes.

    For testing purposes, you can also try to bind to all network interfaces i.e. jekyll serve --host 0.0.0.0
