site: { // baseUrl: the URL that mongo express will be located at - Remember to add the forward slash at the stard and end! baseUrl: '/', cookieKeyName: 'mongo-express', cookieSecret: process.env.ME_CONFIG_SITE_COOKIESECRET || 'cookiesecret', host: process.env.VCAP_APP_HOST || 'localhost', port: process.env.VCAP_APP_PORT || 8081, requestSizeLimit: process.env.ME_CONFIG_REQUEST_SIZE || '50mb', sessionSecret: process.env.ME_CONFIG_SITE_SESSIONSECRET || 'sessionsecret', sslCert: process.env.ME_CONFIG_SITE_SSL_CRT_PATH || '', sslEnabled: process.env.ME_CONFIG_SITE_SSL_ENABLED || false, sslKey: process.env.ME_CONFIG_SITE_SSL_KEY_PATH || '', }, |
The value of the host is changed to “0.0.0.0”, now to be able to connect from browser to the mongo-express.
