Description

https://github.com/render-engine/render-engine-cli/blob/141f136bec42dc66dd7037ae40469d7df808c2b9/src/render_engine_cli/cli.py#L199

My currently development setup is to ssh into a development system this means that the ip_address or host needs to be assignable.

Current workaround -

Build only Then run uv run python -m http.server 8000 --bind 0.0.0.0 --directory output

Contributor guide

Research direction
Identify where the CLI server address is defined and add a ` bind` option to the `serve` command, allowing users to specify the host/IP address.
