Binding interface [Solved]

Configuration
1

Hi,

I am wondering if there is a way to bind HA UI access to a specific interface or listen selectively if there are multiple interfaces.

For example, if the machine has two network interfaces say eth0 or eth1, is there an option to access port 8123 only on eth0 and turn it off on eth1?

Thanks,

Pankaj

You can try configuring server_host in the http section and bind it to the ip of your preferred interface. https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/http/#server_host

Thanks Tomas, this is very helpful. I was hesitating messing with iptables on the machine but http option addresses the problem at hand.
