[Bug Fix] Allow non-localhost hosts in docs development env#455
Merged
Conversation
Rails 8's Host Authorization middleware blocks any Host header outside localhost/private IPs by default, so accessing the docs dev server through a VM hostname or Tailscale domain (e.g. devmachine.cloud) gets rejected with "Blocked hosts". Clear config.hosts in development since this is a non-public dev-only environment.

Fix docs dev server host blocking by clearing
config.hostsin development. This allows access via VM hostnames, tunnels, or Tailscale domains (not just localhost) and has no production impact.Written for commit a91e550. Summary will update on new commits.
