The dev gunicorn config hard-bound 127.0.0.1:8008, so the dev server was
unreachable from any other device — even via the host's own LAN IP. Read the bind
host/port from SOULSYNC_WEB_BIND_HOST / SOULSYNC_WEB_BIND_PORT (same vars the
direct web_server.py run already uses), defaulting to the existing 127.0.0.1:8008.
Default behavior is unchanged (localhost-only), so other devs notice nothing.
To reach the dev server from another device on the LAN, opt in explicitly:
SOULSYNC_WEB_BIND_HOST=0.0.0.0 python dev.py
- Introduce dev.sh as the local backend + Vite launcher
- Document the separate backend/frontend development flow
- Note that the dev Gunicorn config restarts Python on file changes
- Note that Vite hot reloads React changes in webui
The app goes through the usual teardown process quite fast on it's own, so keeping the graceful timeout config high only arbitrarily slows things down.
This is especially releavnt in dev mode, since app reloads should feel snappy when changes are made
Switch the web UI from Werkzeug's built-in server to Gunicorn for a more stable production deployment path.
Keep a separate dev config so local runs still reload quickly, while the production path uses a dedicated WSGI entrypoint and cleaner startup behavior.
The main motivation is to reduce the websocket teardown noise and make the server behavior more predictable under the app's mostly background-driven workload.
