coder.local cant connect on RPi

[CaptainNickbeard]

I've been working on my Google Coder project for a few weeks now, connecting to it via the coder.local address on my Windows desktop. However, I want to start accessing it through the RPi itself. But when I hook up a monitor to it, bring up a browser and type in "http://coder.local" it tells me that it cant connect to it. I've tried localhost, 127.0.0.1, and the IP address, but none of them seem to work. I've tried connecting with https, but I get a connection refused message.

Are you using the Coder SD card image in your Pi, or something else?

Have you followed the instructions here: https://googlecreativelab.github.io/cod ... g_started/

[CaptainNickbeard]

Yep. Everything works perfectly fine when connecting to it through my desktop.

The configuration stuff is a bit beyond me, but it appears that it turns the Pi into a 'webserver' that runs on a network created using the Apple Bonjour service, usually used for printers, that "receives network packets on UDP port 5353".

It seems that the service translates the addresses, but a completely local installation (using 127.0.0.1 or localhost) will not be advertised on Bonjour. The protocol doesn't support this (partially assumed from a number of Google searches). I don't know whether the service works using the full network IP address of the Pi

Hi, using coder.local in a browser running on the Pi will never work. You need to enter the following URL.

https://your localhost ip address:8081/

You will see some security issues, this is normal, ignore them and continue. You should end up seeing the following URL with the Login screen .

https://127.0.0.1:8081/app/auth/login

It does work if you have something to resolve coder.local to the Pi's IP address. That's done by running avahi-daemon on my RPis.
