Django ALLOWED_HOSTS

01/08/2019

After you installed Django and wanted to view it from another local machine you got this error:

DisallowedHost at / Invalid HTTP_HOST header: ‘192.168.3.20’. You may need to add u’192.168.3.20′ to ALLOWED_HOSTS.

I use this to work around it.

Run as:

python3 manage.py runserver 0:8000

1	python3 manage.py runserver 0:8000

Open the settings:

nano settings.py

1	nano settings.py

Change and add:

ALLOWED_HOSTS = ['localhost','127.0.0.1']
ALLOWED_HOSTS += ['192.168.3.{}'.format(i) for i in range(256)]

1 2	ALLOWED_HOSTS = ['localhost','127.0.0.1'] ALLOWED_HOSTS += ['192.168.3.{}'.format(i) for i in range(256)]

Now everything and anyone on your local network should have acces to the website.
^that’s also a big warning!
