Proposed Changes
In
python3 manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000 --insecure
wouldn't it be easier if we specified port 80? I realize this means you need to be running asroot
, but most of the install process requiresroot
anyway. When I initially read the docs I thought this was going to0.0.0.0:0000
(all zeros) and I didn't notice while cut and pasting it. So when I got connection refused I thought I had done something wrong.Alternatively the docs could specify that you need to go to
IP:8000
in the browser instead ofwhich doesn't imply needing to go to any specific port.
