example my public ip is: http://36.54.42.112

step to reproduce:

1. python -m http.server --bind 0.0.0.0 8082, can be access from localhost:8082 and http://36.54.42.112:8082
2. ./server -m ../models/mistral-7b-openorca.Q8_0.gguf -c 2048 --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8082 -ngl 33 -cb -np 32
   can be access from localhost:8082/v1/models but cant access from http://36.54.42.112:8082/v1/models

any insight?, thank you.

HI,

please verify the network family it listens to, ipv4 or ipv6 ?

We had the issue on the server test. Probably need to add a flag to select ipv4 only.

Line 145 in ddf6568

addrs = socket.getaddrinfo(context.server_fqdn, context.server_port, type=socket.SOCK_STREAM)

We usually do not expose directly the server to internet, I am using docker or kubernetes and the container has only one socket familty to listen to.
Feel free to open a PR to configure the good socket flags.
