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

If you put the default options on config/boot.rb then all command attributes for rake and rails fails (example: rake -T or rails g model user)! So, append this to bin/rails after line require_relative '../config/boot' and the code is executed only for the rails server command:

if ARGV.first == 's' || ARGV.first == 'server'
  require 'rails/commands/server'
  module Rails
    class Server
      def default_options
        super.merge(Host:  '127.0.0.1', Port: 10524)
      end
    end
  end
end

The bin/rails file loks like this:

#!/usr/bin/env ruby
APP_PATH = File.expand_path('../../config/application',  __FILE__)
require_relative '../config/boot'

# Set default host and port to rails server
if ARGV.first == 's' || ARGV.first == 'server'
  require 'rails/commands/server'
  module Rails
    class Server
      def default_options
        super.merge(Host:  '127.0.0.1', Port: 10524)
      end
    end
  end
end

require 'rails/commands'
