How to make the webpack dev server run on port 80 and on 0.0.0.0 to make it publicly accessible?

Something like this worked for me. I am guessing this should work for you.

Run webpack-dev using this

webpack-dev-server --host 0.0.0.0 --port 80

And set this in webpack.config.js

entry: [    'webpack-dev-server/client?http://0.0.0.0:80',     config.paths.demo ]

Note If you are using hot loading, you will have to do this.

Run webpack-dev using this

webpack-dev-server --host 0.0.0.0 --port 80

And set this in webpack.config.js

entry: [    'webpack-dev-server/client?http://0.0.0.0:80',    'webpack/hot/only-dev-server',     config.paths.demo ],....plugins:[new webpack.HotModuleReplacementPlugin()]

This is how I did it and it seems to work pretty well.

In you webpack.config.js file add the following:

devServer: {    inline:true,    port: 8008  },

Obviously you can use any port that is not conflicting with another. I mention the conflict issue only because I spent about 4 hrs. fighting an issue only to discover that my services were running on the same port.

Configure webpack (in webpack.config.js) with:

devServer: {  // ...  host: '0.0.0.0',  port: 80,  // ...}
