How to allow others to connect to my Django website?

Now that I have created a website, I wish the users can connect to my website within a local network. However my website now can only be accessible from the localhost (my pc), the others are not able to connect to my website when typing my ip address for example xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8000 on their browser. I launch the service on my localhost using # python manage.py runserver. May I know if there is a way/command to allow the others to connect to my website?

Note: I have tried # python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000 as well, which allow all incoming, but it didn't work.

There are steps to resolve this problem are:

1. Use http://<your ip address> than https

2. Then in settings.py write

ALLOWED_HOSTS = ['*']

3. Finally ran the server with:

python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000

In settings.py write

ALLOWED_HOSTS = ['*'] and run python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000

Note: you can use any port instead of 8000
