Question

How to specify which eth interface Django test server should listen on?

Answer 1

A:

No. It's not how it works. The interfase has an IP address, you have a network with the test server and your PC. You should connect to that IP (possibly with an alternative port that you specified), and that's all. If you only have these two devices in the network, it is most likely that both of them should have static IP addresses. (or, if there is not mutual network, you cannot connect to each other).

Answer 2

+2 A:

Yes, if the IP of your interface is for example 192.168.1.2 and you want to run on port 8080, start the development server like this:

./manage.py runserver 192.168.1.2:8080

Answer 3

+5 A:

I think the OP is referring to having multiple interfaces configured on the test machine.

You can specify the IP address that Django will bind to as follows:

# python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000

This would bind Django to all interfaces on port 8000. You can pass any active IP address in place of 0.0.0.0, so simply use the IP address of the interface you want to bind to.

Hope this helps.

I don't understand why two answers that essentially repeated mine got upvoted (while mine didn't) :/

@sztomi: The others had examples which concretized the abstract points. Using examples is an excellent way to clarify and greatly assists the reader.
