Invalid HTTP_HOST header: '127.0.0.1:8000'. You may need to add '127.0.0.1' to ALLOWED_HOSTS

I keep on getting this error whenever I run my server locally. This is how allowed hosts is in my .env file ALLOWED_HOSTS=['*'] I have tried adding '127.0.0.1' to the .env file instead of * but nothing seems to be working.Any ideas?

This can be solved by editing settings.py file. Add the IP address without the port number to the ALLOWED_HOSTS array thus:

ALLOWED_HOSTS = ['localhost', '127.0.0.1']

This solved my problem.

Django doesn't read .env file by itself. You should care about it.

If you want Django reading environment variables, you should use os.environ.get() method at your settings.py. But environment variables must be available for django. Export it at command line or provide .env file to your docker container.

Also, you can use this library: https://django-environ.readthedocs.io/en/latest/
