Unable to open Immich in chrome
It may not be immich-specific, but I've been stuck on a really vexing issue. Maybe someone here has seen it before.
(the problem)
My chrome on macos cannot open any page on the local network, including immich. I'm typing in http://192.168.29.16:2283
(the confusing part)
What's really bewildering is that the same URL opens in Safari, and even in chrome for other users of the macbook.
I am able to ping this address, and even test the port using
nc -zv 192.168.29.16 2283
successfully.
But Chrome + MyAccount = No Local Webpages (ERR_ADDRESS_UNREACHABLE).
(what I tried)
I suspected the firewall, but the firewall is turned off.
I tried clearing Cookies and Site Data, but it didn't help.
I even uninstalled chrome, deleted all the app data in ~/Library/Application/Support/Google/Chrome
and ~/Library/Caches/com.google.com/
, then reinstalled chrome. This too didn't work.
Has anyone seen something like this before?7 Replies

Not workign in chrome

Can we see the port and scheme in safari?
solved it finally!
It was an obscure OS settings that I didn't know about, and couldn't easily find on the internet.
MacOS Settings > Privacy and Security > (scroll to the bottom) > "Local Network Access" > Toggle Google Chrome.
also, It seems this permission is not needed for Safari.
