Add --host option

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I’d like to expose my dev server to other machines, so wish to bind to 0.0.0.0 and not localhost.

Describe the solution you’d like Add a --host option (along side existing --port option).

Describe alternatives you’ve considered Port forwarding is butchered on WSL; don’t want to deal with it now.

How important is this feature to you? Somewhat.

I think svelte-kit dev --host fake.domain.com --open should replace http://localhost:3000 with http://fake.domain.com:3000.

Its good to have, when developing with third-party libs, that require a “real” host.

[johnyvelho]

you can get it bound on 0.0.0.0 by editing svelte.config.cjs and configuring vite, like so:

// svelte.config.cjs

module.exports = {
  kit: {
    vite: {
      server: {
        host: '0.0.0.0'
      }
    }
  }
}

All available options are documented here https://vitejs.dev/config/#server-host

@srid Can you confirm this helps you achieve your goal?

I tried it and didn’t help 😕
