Running svelte dev on server

I am running svelte like this on my server:

$ npm run dev


  Your application is ready~! 🚀

  - Local:      http://localhost:5000

────────────────── LOGS ──────────────────

Which is great. However, when I try to access through my public ip, the bundle is not found. I.E. When I type <publicIP>:5000 into the browser. It doesn't show up. The port is open and accessible. Is there any way to achieve this?

The request just fails. But shouldn't it work if it's running on localhost:5000? I have set up a node server and I can indeed access it on port 5000, but it doesn't serve the files properly like npm run dev does.

Solution

Declare the environment variable HOST=0.0.0.0

HOST=0.0.0.0 npm run dev

You can also modify the dev script in the package.json and prepend HOST=0.0.0.0

  "scripts": {
    "build": "rollup -c",
    "dev": "HOST=0.0.0.0 rollup -c -w",
    "start": "sirv public"
  },

And now you can simply run npm run dev
