Cannot access from a different machine

[Nels2]

I want to set up kiln on an Ubuntu VM and then access it through nginx-proxy. I can't figure out how to change where it serves the app once it's ran.

So I don't suggest trying to host it like a server. It is designed to be an app, where each user has a local copy of the data, and any changes are synced via git or a shared drive: https://docs.getkiln.ai/docs/collaboration

While you could host it like that, there would be downsides:

• No authorization/logins
• Every user is using the same account. The created_by tags will all have the machine name of your VM, not a person.
• No data backup or history (which you get via Git or Shared Drive)

If you do run it that way, it could work. But how to open ports, secure it, and proxy it would be dependent on your system, not the app.
