what can be the reason that ktor starts at 0.0.0.0:8080 and when I set it in deployment.host to localhost it only throws 400 errors? Other services like Docker work just fine on localhost

Can you check that none other listens to localhost:8080?

[Arjan van Wieringen]

Running lsof -i :8080 shows nothing

Can you share the code of your server? Does a simple GET endpoint work?

Yes, but it is intermittent. I seriously doubt it is related to Ktor, since it is such a basic use-case. So I'll go on investigating on my computer. Thanks for you help

Okay, I keep getting the issue and I don't know why. After a fresh restart everything works.
• I start the application (now at deployment.host = localhost and deployment.port = 3000 and it works
• I stop the application
• I start it again and it it results in a 404 while it is running
Inspecting with sudo lsof -iTCP:3000 -sTCP:LISTEN -P shows that Java is listening when I have the app running. And it goes away when I stop the app.

Okay, I was making a movie to show the issue. And I noticed that it works in different Google Chrome profiles.....

So it is definitely not a Ktor issue
