Public URL: invalid project directory provided

[enn-nafnlaus]

I can run the app fine locally (after some messing around!), but not on a public URL. If I specify a URL, I get the following error:

_[riffusion-app]$ npm run dev --hostname MY.IP.ADDRESS.HERE

riffusion@0.1.0 dev
next dev MY.IP.ADDRESS.HERE

error - Invalid project directory provided, no such directory: /path/to/riffusion-app/MY.IP.ADDRESS.HERE_

Rather weird - it wants a directory with the name of my IP address? Containing what?

This seems like a general npm / nextjs question. I would typically set up port forwarding or use a proxy like nginx.

Okay, so why do you have the option if it's not going to work? It's only going to confuse people.

It's not our option, it's built in
