Running Spring app on local network IP 192.168.X.X

Question

I run my Spring web app on localhost, so both addresses work:

http://localhost:9999/app

http://127.0.0.1:9999/app

I would also like to see this app running on concrete IP of my machine (in order to access it from a mobile, but that is less important here). I used ipconfig to obtain my IPv4, but when I use it like so:

http://192.168.1.4:9999/app

I get 'this site can't be reached'. That's still on my local machine, not mobile. Is there something else I should set up to make it work?

EDIT: here's a PrintScreen illustrating the problem. I don't think this is a matter of app configuration, because server console should show up in all cases, even if there is no app deployed or running.

Answer 1

all you need to do is add this to your app.properties (or whatever you called spring properties file)

server.address=<your_ip>

just as described here
