How to use a local IP address instead of localhost ?

[glemiere]

• I have searched the issues of this repository and believe that this is not a duplicate.

Sorry in advance if I didn't find any informations. If this behavior is actually possible, please specify it in the README.

Expected Behavior

Being able to use an IP (10.x.x.x) instead of localhost while using next dev.

Current Behavior

Dev server launch on localhost.

Lets document this in the readme 👍

Thank you! I also noticed that next --help doesn't give any infos about that. The CLI might need an update as well ;)

@timneutkens I saw help was wanted, so I made a PR that you may appreciate. ;-)

I was looking at documenting this in the readme, but I can only get it working with a few values:

Works:

• --hostname 127.0.0.1
• --hostname localhost
• --hostname 0.0.0.0

Doesn't work:

• --hostname blabla
• --hostname 0.0.0.5
• --hostname 127.0.1.1

What should be expected to work?

As you can see the value is directly passed into Node.js's http.listen, so any value that doesn't work is related to Node.js not supporting it I guess.
