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

Don’t worry about downvotes.

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.

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
