The problem

Hello,

I want to setup a remote build server for my HA install that currently runs on a Green. I have an always on, headless, server running Ubuntu on the same network and proceeded to install ESPHome there by following these instructions.

During install I noticed something odd:

$ sudo apt install ./ESPHome.Device.Builder_*.deb
Note, selecting 'esp-home-device-builder' instead of './ESPHome.Device.Builder_1.1.3_amd64.deb'

Alright. Install seemed to work so I didn't give it much thought. I have now a executable called esphome-desktop. That's a tad odd since the docs consistently call the executable esphome. But the versions align; the deb I installed is 1.1.3 and esp-home-device-builder is 1.1.3 too.

The app seems to start just fine, esphome-desktop open runs and esphome-desktop status returns:

esphome-desktop status
App:             running (1.1.3)
Backend:         running, healthy
Dashboard:       http://localhost:6052
ESPHome:         2026.8.0 (stable channel)
Device builder:  1.12.2 (stable channel)
Launch at login: on
Config dir:      /home/meklit/esphome
Logs dir:        /home/meklit/.local/share/io.esphome.builder/logs

Now I can't connect to http://localhost:6052 because I need to do so from another device (my laptop). How do I influence to which interface the app binds?

Which version of ESPHome Device Builder has the issue?

1.1.3

What platform are you using?

Linux (deb)

Anything in the logs that might be useful for us?
