quarkus:dev's debugHost not configurable

We are running development environments and tools in containers and trying to separate responsibilities not only in separate containers (and also pods, so colocation is not really a solution). One of the ideas was separate IDE pods from the actual application (quarkus-based, in this occasion) being in development. The challenge for us is, to make relevant ports from the application in development available at least to the IDE container.

When running mvn quarkus:dev, application’s port is only bound to loopback interface, which is luckily configurable e.g. via enviroment variable QUARKUS_HTTP_HOST=0.0.0.0. The same problem applies to other ports like the debug port, which is opened by the maven plugin. Unfortunately it looks like there is currently no way to change this configuration, even though most of the code to do so is already there (have a look at io.quarkus.maven.DevMojo#debugHost).

Expected behavior When running mvn quarkus:dev debug port is bound to 127.0.0.1 by default, but is configurable somehow.

Actual behavior Running mvn quarkus:dev debug port is bound to 127.0.0.1 and not configurable.

To Reproduce Without containering: Start any quarkus application using mvn quarkus:dev and from the same machine try to connect to it using jdb -attach $(hostname):5005. jdb -attach localhost:5005 is working fine for reference.

You should be able to do mvn quarkus:dev -DdebugHost=0.0.0.0
