title: flask web server How to access page using local domain instead of ip
body: <p>I am running a flask app. For some reason I can't access the app on other computers on the network using myapp.local or (the_device_real_name.load) unless I do it on the computer the app is running on. I can access it on other computers on the network if I use the ip address. I also opened the host file in /etc/hosts and added the name I wanted there.  How can I fix this issue. </p>
  
  <p>in flask I have:
  app.config['SERVER_NAME'] = 'myapp.local' 
  I also have host='0.0.0.0'</p>
  
  <p>Can someone explain what I am doing wrong? </p>
