Bind rails server to 127.0.0.1 by default

Question

I\'d like to bind the rails server to 127.0.0.1, instead of 0.0.0.0 so its not accessible when I\'m working from coffee shops.

Is there a configuration file where I can

Answer 1

I use Foreman as a process manager in development.

After adding gem 'foreman' to your Gemfile and running bundle install, create a file Procfile in the root of your application directory.

While you can add lines to manage other processes, mine just reads:

web: rails server -p $PORT -b 127.0.0.1

Then, to start the Rails server via the Procfile, run foreman start. If you have other processes here (Redis, workers) they'll boot at the same time.
