On this network¶
Opens this project on a phone or another computer on the same network.
The name resolves through sslip.io. Nothing is registered, nothing is published, and no traffic leaves the network.
Controls¶
| Control | What it does |
|---|---|
| Answer on a name other devices can resolve | Turns the shared name on and writes the intent into the manifest. |
| Open | Opens the address in your browser. |
| Copy | Puts the address on the clipboard. |
How it differs from Share¶
| On this network | Share | |
|---|---|---|
| Reaches | The local network | The internet |
| Sidecar container | Not needed | Needed |
| The cost | A certificate warning on the visiting device | The address is public |
The certificate is issued by this machine's own authority. A phone does not know that authority, so the visitor gets a warning to accept.
Worth knowing¶
- This is a name in the router and the certificate, not a forward to a running container. It is correct while the project is stopped.
- If no address appears, this machine has no network address to build one from.
