[SOLVED] Collaborating with programmers in a project integrated with Appwrite

[vernal forge]

Hello! I am working on an opensource project which uses appwrite and the project is hosted on local host of another colaborator I do have the project ID is there a way for me to connect to his project while it being on his localhost.... if I get to know his IP ? would it be possible then ?

[mystic mist]

He need to set a tunnel on his computer

Like cloudflare tunnel for example

Or, if he've fixed IP, he can set a WAN access to his router

[vernal forge]

const String APPWRITE_ENDPOINT = "http://localhost/v1";

const String APPWRITE_ENDPOINT = "http://[his IP]/v1";

would this not work directly

along with the default port of appwrite

[mystic mist]

Ty to go, with your browser, to http://[IP] first. There's no point in going any further if you can't access it.

When it works, I suggest you to add fake DNS on your hosts file, with same domain that he use (localhost or other) like
After, go to https://[domain] to check if you can access appwrite console
Then you can use it with client sdk

thank you so much your insight was very helpful

raised a surge of confidence in me

@mystic mist @atomic moss just figured i can request them to add me as a member to that project would that work ??

[mystic mist]

No, you need to be able to reach his appwrite server via network

[vernal forge]

Okay but now again what is the point then like if we have to finally find a hosting solution for appwrite then firebase already does the work so then why

It is like a flask server at the end you would have to find a hosting solution for it

[atomic moss]

That's the nature of self hosting. If you don't want to self host, we have Appwrite Cloud

Oh okay okay

@atomic moss I am still having this error

@atomic moss @mystic mist
I actually linked it to my app write instance running on my docker still I am getting a connection refused error I have and it is in the line where i do
User appwriteUser = await account.get();

account is getting from client and client has my appwrite instance endpoint and my created appwrite project ID

[atomic moss]

What did you set the endpoint to?

[vernal forge]

Thanks for responding @atomic moss my end point was wrong got solved in some other suggestion

I entered local host in endpoint needed to do with IP and add /v1

Really love the community support of appwrite thanks

[vernal forge]

@atomic moss had a doubt

as Appwrite cloud is in

beta

would we have availability issues as it would be down for maintenance and all

and ya I tried tunnelling

made the app really slow

so was thinking to opt for appwrite cloud

We have periods about 30-60 minutes where you can't create collections, attributes, buckets, etc, but you should be able to still read and write documents and files so it should be fine for end users
