Originally created by @Unkn0wn-MDCLXIV on GitHub (May 4, 2020).

When I clone the repository on my server and try to access the client via the servers' ip from a different machine on the network, the api requests are sent to localhost:1337 instead of the servers' ip.
I cannot get past the login page. It says it cannot connect to the server, because localhost obviously is not running the server.

To run the development server on different IP or port you need to specify two environment variables with the same value: BASE_URL and REACT_APP_SERVER_BASE_URL. You can change BASE_URL in the .env file inside server folder, then create .env file in the client folder and place REACT_APP_SERVER_BASE_URL there. Or just simply run it without any changes by: BASE_URL=http://<server’s IP> REACT_APP_SERVER_BASE_URL=http://<server’s IP> npm start. I should add this somewhere to the documentation.
