Access Raspberry PI Django server from outside

Question

I have a Raspberry PI with Django installed. The PI has a static IP on my network ( 192.168.1.100 ) and the web server is on port 8008.

I can access my website from the local network at the address http://192.168.1.100:8008/ as one would expect.

On my routeur, with WAN address (say) 1.1.1.1 , I forwarded port 8008 to the IP 192.168.1.100 and therefore I should expect http://1.1.1.1:8008/ to show me my website. However it doesn't.

When I redirect port 8008 to another PC where I have an Apache server on port 8008, it works fine from the outside. I only have the problem on this device.

The Django app itself does not seem to reject connections from the outside (I installed it on my Mac on a different network and I could access it from the outside).

So I don't know what I am missing... is there some parameter on the PI that could block requests?

Answer 1

Here's a quick solution. You can try services like localtunnel or ngrok to port forward.

Or if you want a more rigid solution you could forward ports from your router.

Or at last you could use a reverse proxy from cloud or a VPN network.

Choose whatever suits your situation the best.

在 settings.py 中，尝试将您的 WAN 地址添加到允许的主机
