How to Access worldmonitor via External Network?

[yzshenzhen]

I have successfully deployed the web version of worldmonitor on my server, and the server has external network access capability. However, I cannot access it externally, and it prompts that I need to add the external network address to the whitelist in the configuration file, But I cannot find "vote.config.js"

Bro, you're looking for the wrong file because of an autocorrect typo! It is actually vite.config.js (or vite.config.ts), not "vote".

By default, Vite (the build tool World Monitor uses) only listens to local traffic (localhost) for security. To open it up to your external IP, you have two super easy ways to fix it:

Option 1: The fastest way (No file editing)
Just add --host to your start command.
Run this instead: npm run dev -- --host (or yarn dev --host).

Option 2: Edit the actual config file
Find vite.config.ts in the root folder of the project and add a server block with host: true or '0.0.0.0':

export default defineConfig({
server: {
host: '0.0.0.0', // This allows external network access
},
// ... the rest of the existing plugins
})
