Linux application URL

Question:

Running the helpdesk app on Linux makes it listen to "localhost:5000" only, ignoring other URLs. How can I make it listen to more names and IP addresses?

Answer:

You can set the ASPNETCORE_URLS environment variable to a desired URL(s) like this:

http://\*:5000;http://localhost:5001;https://hostname:5002

For example, in Bash:

export ASPNETCORE_URLS="http://localhost:5001;https://localhost:5002"

Alternatively by adding this to the appsettings.json file:

"Urls": "http://*:5000"

But the long term recommended way would be to set up a nginx reverse proxy in front of the app.
