Using "0.0.0.0" as host

Describe the problem I’m trying to use 0.0.0.0 as host because I want to be able to connect to the GUI from other computers on the same network. This works, but it is making the window that eel opens open to 0.0.0.0:3000/main.html , which doesn’t load. Is there a way to override the address that eel opens when it opens its chromium window? Code snippet(s)

import eel
eel.start("main.html", host="0.0.0.0")

From the way I read browsers.py you could try not to give host=“0.0.0.0” but the real local ip address you would want to bind to. E.g: host="172.16.1.1" could work, as browsers.py builds the string to open from this host variable.
I have tried that, and it works as a work-around if you only want to bind to one specific address.

Given that Eel is intended mostly for single-user applications (ie. isn’t intended to be used across the network in the supported case), and it can be addressed by the developer with the custom code @ChrisKnott suggested, I’m going to close this as “out of scope” for now. Thanks for sharing your use case though.
