I’ve used ForestryCMS, CloudCannon and others in the past but in the last week or so I have decided to give Netlify CMS a go. So far I have found the setup and configuration all relatively simple.
There is one thing I would like to do that I am having a problem setting up. I build using Hugo and I always run my sites locally on a host other than localhost eg. 192.168.0.27
I’d like to have the CMS on that host too but it wont work for me apart from on localhost. Other than changing the local_backend option in the config file am I missing something.
config.yaml setting update
local_backend: true
local_backend:
allowed_hosts: ['192.168.0.27']
Any ideas/help would be much appreciated. Thank you

Not really sure if that could work, to be honest. Our Suppor team don’t provide direct tech support on our open source projects (and we also have little experience guiding people in using that config) - so we may not get you an answer beyond that, but hopefully it helps!
OK thanks I will likely give it a try. As I said I have everything I need working I just hoped to utilise this option which seemed really simple according to the documentation.
If it proves too complicated I will ditch the idea as I don’t really need the CMS part available on that host.
