react-native-server can't be reached via local ip adress about react-native HOT 3 CLOSED

Hey.

This issue has to be on your side, storybook doesn't deal with networking on any way, all it does it binds itself to 7007 port on your machine.

So you have to make sure that your machine allows connections to the port 7007 (it depends on the os/firewall/other things so I cannot really help you there).

Good luck!

This seems like the same problem as discussed in storybookjs/storybook#6674.

I think there is more to this than just the networking setup. It seems to me that if no host is specified then the server defaults to listening on localhost

storybookjs/storybook#6674 (comment) describes how binding to the specific address (i.e. 192.168.190.232) will accept request to that address or how binding to 0.0.0.0 accepts requests on any address including localhost and the local ip address.

Further investigation shows that the cli has a default value for the host of localhost if the user doesn't supply an option.

.option('-h, --host <host>', 'host to listen on')

After making this change requests are received on both localhost and the local ip address.

Ultimately, it would be great if getStorybookUI({}); automatically used the server's ip address so that it wasn't necessary to set the server ip address there.

import {NativeModules} from 'react-native';
import url from 'url';
const {hostname} = url.parse(NativeModules.SourceCode.scriptURL);

const StorybookUIRoot = getStorybookUI({host: hostname, tabOpen: 0});

export default StorybookUIRoot;
