Stellar Explorer for Private Net

Question

I built and run Private net using a stellar-core on local infrastructure successfully. I need to connect that(http://localhost:8000/) local horizon API to the stellar explorer. I use this link to connect local horizon API to the explorer. I get an error when I set a Current Network on stellar-explorer which is running on http://localhost:5000/

Answer 1

These are the two approaches that worked for me. In the server.js file change the public net IP to point to your localhost IP. If that doesn't work, use ngrok on your localhost to create an HTTPS endpoint that then you can point the explorer to.
