So I have a small local server running a website. It's not public facing at all, has a static IP address on my WiFi LAN and can be accessed by any Linux machine. I can't see it on any iPhone or Android device though

I've looked up tutorials on line, ensured my firewalls allow local sharing on the WiFi, double checked I can even ping the server successfully with nmap on Android

Any tips?

::edit:: typo in post, not when searching for IP on LAN

Are your phones on the same network? Same vlan? Firewall rules? VPN?

Does tcpdump on the server see the request?

    I get a lot of downvotes. I realize I say things that can be divisive. Why are people downvoting debugging steps? What's divisive about that....

    Don't worry about downvotes.

    I'm just trying to understand the rational. To me I downvote when the comment is against the community, or unproductive.

    If I'm being a net negative I should know why! Usually I have a guess as to why, but when I don't, I reach out so I can understand better. I do want lemmy to be a better place, so feedback is useful.
