I am trying to run dfx on my public ip using this command :
dfx start --host ‘publicIp:port’

The error i am getting:
Error: Failed to get frontend address.
Caused by: Failed to find reusable socket address
Caused by: Failed to bind socket to publicIp:port.
Caused by: Cannot assign requested address (os error 99)

Is it possible to run it on my public ip ? if so am i doing something wrong here
Ps: trying this on an aws ec2 instance

Did you try 0.0.0.0:port or 127.0.0.1:port?

Hi, in my dfx.json has

  "networks": {
    "local": {
      "type": "ephemeral",
      "bind": "0.0.0.0:4943",
      "provider": "http://localhost:4943"
    }
  },

And when run dfx start it say:
Replica API running on 0.0.0.0:4943. You must open a new terminal to continue developing. If you’d prefer to stop, quit with ‘Ctrl-C’.

But when I run dfx deploy, it say
dfx deploy
Error: The replica returned an HTTP Error: Http Error: status 400 Bad Request, content type “text/plain; charset=utf-8”, content: error: unknown_domain
details:
The requested domain is not served by this HTTP gateway.

Do you know why does this error happend and how to fix it. Thanks
