Accessing Plasmic Studio from another device

Developer Support
1

Hi Plasmic Team,

I have a somewhat unusual question regarding my current setup.

I am working with two laptops. On Laptop A, I have my local Next.js project running on localhost. However, due to some constraints, I don’t have, nor can I gain, direct access to the local Next.js files on Laptop A from Laptop B.

Despite this, I would still like to work on Plasmic Studio from Laptop B. Is this possible?

Currently, the app host URL is configured as http://localhost:3000/plasmic-host. I attempted to modify this to http://[MY_IP_ADDRESS]:3000/plasmic-host, assuming that, since both laptops are on the same Wi-Fi network, Laptop B should theoretically be able to connect.

Is there a way to make this setup work, or are there specific configurations I need to adjust?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hello @kaai,

I believe you can do this with SSH, as specified in this thread: networking - How to connect / tunneling to another computer to use it's localhost? - Super User
