#LRS networking

Operating model: Local / self-managed

By default, the LRS listens only on localhost:

Text

127.0.0.1:8000

#Change the address or port

Shell

simplestlrs start 1.0.1 \
  --bind 0.0.0.0 \
  --port 8080

--bind accepts an IP address, and --port accepts a value from 1 through 65535. Stop the LRS before changing either setting.

Warning

The Local / self-managed LRS is unauthenticated by default. Binding to 0.0.0.0 or another non-loopback address can expose the LRS to other systems on the network. Keep the default unless network access is intentional and appropriately protected. Do not expose this configuration directly to the public internet.

The CLI warns whenever the selected address is not loopback.

#Bind address is not a hostname

A bind address selects the network interface where the LRS listens. It does not create a hostname or DNS record.

Names such as lrs.local must be configured separately through DNS or /etc/hosts and resolve to an address where the LRS is listening.

PostgreSQL remains internal to Docker Compose and is not exposed through the selected LRS port.
