Locust: access to locust frontend from another computer

[bgenchel]

trying to run locust on a google compute VM; can't access the locust.io UI from my computer, I always get a timeout/non response error.

I can however access a basic Flask app when I run it from the vm, when I have it bind to 0.0.0.0. I think I'm not able to access locust because it is automatically binding to 127.0.0.0 (localhost) instead of 0.0.0.0 (public).

How can I change the default host binding? Thanks!

EDIT:

also tried running with --master --master-bind-host=0.0.0.0; seems to still not be working correctly

Hi bgenchel,

Have you enabled TCP access to port 8089 in your server? This is the default port locust uses to serve frontend.

Were you able to resolve it?

By default Locust web UI binds to port 8089 on all interfaces. You can change the port using --web-port.

I was able to resolve the issue. Combination of both of your suggestions. Thanks!
