HOMEPAGE_ALLOWED_HOSTS on wimdows

[PBadchild]

Description

Disclaimer: I'm a newbe at pretty much all the codding stuff and this is my fist support request on git so sorry if some info is missing or if I'm missing something obvious. I also tried to search for a related topic but couldn't find one for a source install.

So I just installed homepage from source. On Windows Server 2016

I'm able to start it by using "pnpm start" however when I do that I can only access my homepage from "http://localhost:3000.

I understand that I need to add other Ip and ports to the "HOMEPAGE_ALLOWED_HOSTS".

In the "install from source" page it says:

"Finally, run the server:
HOMEPAGE_ALLOWED_HOSTS=gethomepage.dev:1234 pnpm start"

When I enter that line I get the following error:
"HOMEPAGE_ALLOWED_HOSTS=gethomepage.dev:1234: The term 'HOMEPAGE_ALLOWED_HOSTS=gethomepage.dev:1234' is not recognized as a name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or executable program.
Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again."

That's why I started it with "pnpm start"

When I do start it with "pnpm start" I get this:

"PS C:\Program Files\homepage> pnpm start

[email protected] start C:\Program Files\homepage
next start

▲ Next.js 15.3.1

• Local: http://localhost:3000
• Network: http://192.168.2.25:3000

✓ Starting...
⚠ "next start" does not work with "output: standalone" configuration. Use "node .next/standalone/server.js" instead.
✓ Ready in 830ms"

I also don't know if that's a bad thing or not haha.

So basically I want to find out how to add another IP to the HOMEPAGE_ALLOWED_HOSTS in a source install on windows. The configuration page for docker seems to talk about it but there is no page for configuration for source install so I'm a bit lost.

Troubleshooting

I also tried to search for a related topic but couldn't find one for a source install. I tried to search on google, reddit and youtube.

I tried to " Set HOMEPAGE_ALLOWED_HOSTS" I tried "setx HOMEPAGE_ALLOWED_HOSTS "your_allowed_hosts""

Anyways can't seem to figure it out.

Your first problem is using windows 😉 but no worries about being a n00b, you’re doing everything right by asking questions and explaining your steps clearly.

You’re basically trying to figure out how to set an environment variable which you can’t do inline on windows like on linux

I believe it’s something like

set HOMEPAGE_ALLOWED_HOSTS=192.168.2.25:3000
pnpm start

But honestly you might be better googling it (how to set environment variables)

hahaha I wanted to use docker but I'm on Windows server 2016 so I can't install docker desktop. I know I could install it through Oracle VM like I did for my Home Assistant except I did that by following a detailed tutorial (specific to HomeAssistant) that I don't remember anything about.

Anyways I tried what you just said but did not work unfortunately.

It's weird cause the IP I'm trying to add is actually the IP of the localhost. Yet it works on the localhost but not with the actual IP address haha.

I already tried google but I will try again with your search query! :)

Thanks for helping the n00b ;)
