So I have a small local server running a website. It’s not public facing at all, has a static IP address on my WiFi LAN and can be accessed by any Linux machine. I can’t see it on any iPhone or Android device though

I’ve looked up tutorials on line, ensured my firewalls allow local sharing on the WiFi, double checked I can even ping the server successfully with nmap on Android

Any tips?

::edit:: typo in post, not when searching for IP on LAN

    Are your phones on the same network? Same vlan? Firewall rules? VPN?

    Does tcpdump on the server see the request?

      I get a lot of downvotes. I realize I say things that can be divisive. Why are people downvoting debugging steps? What’s divisive about that…

          I’m just trying to understand the rational. To me I downvote when the comment is against the community, or unproductive.

          If I’m being a net negative I should know why! Usually I have a guess as to why, but when I don’t, I reach out so I can understand better. I do want lemmy to be a better place, so feedback is useful.

            When there’s only a few, it’s basically just statistical noise. Some people downvote anything. Some people just have fat fingers and missed the upvote button.

            Your comments were good and kind. Debugging even obvious things is good since computer science is literal magic electrified rocks and keeping every step in our heads is impossible

            Yeah don’t worry about the downvotes

            Some mobile clients make it easy to accidentally downvote. I sometimes see that I accidentally downvoted a comment from time to time.

            If you say controversial shit outside of tech, mentally I’ll will follow you around downvoting.

            So you will see all of your post have a few downvotes.

            If it is just this one time, it is likely an anaomaly.

            Edit: BTW tcp dump is a nice trick, so you deff added to the discourse here IMHO

            Many people learn Linux and networking from these threads where idea are flying around. So deff don’t stop lol

      Yeah, if phones go via WiFi and the computer is on a cable the IP ranges may differ and that would explain you can access only via one of the two.

        Yeah everything (server, Linux clients, Android clients, other clients) is on the same WiFi network which is why this is extra frustrating since Linux just works like usual
