I'm trying my hand at some development. I created a python flask ask that I am running on a raspberry pi (that is also running pi-hole).
I can reach the flask app locally with curl.
curl >Hello, World!pi@hole:~/piapi/app $ But I cannot reach it from another host on the network:
curl >curl: (7) Failed to connect to 192.168.0.2 port 5000: Connection refused I assumed the port was blocked, but:
netstat -tupln | grep ':5000' >tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:5000 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 30171/python3 That looks OK wrong to me~, and I can hit the pi-hole web app that runs on port 80. What am I doing wrong? Why can't I reach the flask app on port 5000?

I misunderstood how flask works. I ran flask from the command line flask run, and that ignored the host settings in the python file. Running the app with:
flask run --host=0.0.0.0
