Accessing CVAT from local network

My actions before raising this issue

• [ ✔ ] Read/searched the docs
• [ ✔ ] Searched past issues, I checked and tried:
  • #1011
  • #1095
  • #128

Expected Behaviour

I would like to host a CVAT site from a server at my workplace to my colleagues, but I cannot acces it from outside of the machine (only localhost)

Current Behaviour

From outside - using the servers IP address - I only get a “404 page not found” error I ran through install guide,

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

1. Follow the steps in the Install guide - Ubuntu section
2. Try to acces the site from another machine connected to the same network as the server
3. I also tried to manually create the stack in docker, but the cvat-server container always stopped immediately with the following error:

If anyone is interested, I found a way to access CVAT from any hostname. It is very useful for me because I can now access it with the machine IP, as localhost or even as a tunnel using ngrok.

I’ve modified the traefik rules on the official docker-compose.yml file. You can find the file here.

https://openvinotoolkit.github.io/cvat/docs/faq/#how-to-change-default-cvat-hostname-or-port Just set env variable export CVAT_HOST=<YOUR_HOSTNAME_OR_IP> and restart docker containers with docker-compose down && docker-compose up -d
