Odysseus setup: access your Windows host from a phone

This tutorial explains how to access a self-hosted Odysseus workspace from a phone while it runs on a Windows PC. It assumes you have already installed Odysseus on Windows and refers viewers to a separate installation guide. The phone connects through a browser on the same local network.

The presenter first creates a desktop .bat launcher, copies the Odysseus installation folder's path into it, and saves the document with the file type set to All Files. After starting the application, the presenter opens 127.0.0.1:7000 on the PC and explains why that localhost address does not reach the PC from a phone.

The next step changes the launch configuration to allow network access, then restarts Odysseus. The transcript refers to extra launch arguments but does not spell them out, so it is not a complete command reference. The presenter then opens Command Prompt to find the PC's IP address and enters that address followed by :7000 in Chrome on the phone, or substitutes the configured port. The demonstration ends at the mobile sign-in screen. This is browser access to the Windows installation; the walkthrough does not demonstrate running the application directly on the phone.
