Server Options

server.host

Type: string | boolean
Default: 'localhost'

Specify which IP addresses the server should listen on. Set this to 0.0.0.0 or true to listen on all addresses, including LAN and public addresses.

This can be set via the CLI using --host 0.0.0.0 or --host.

::: tip NOTE

There are cases when other servers might respond instead of Vite.

The first case is when localhost is used. Node.js under v17 reorders the result of DNS-resolved addresses by default. When accessing localhost, browsers use DNS to resolve the address and that address might differ from the address which Vite is listening to. Vite prints the resolved address when it differs.

You can set dns.setDefaultResultOrder('verbatim') to disable the reordering behavior. Vite will then print the address as localhost.

// vite.config.js
import { defineConfig } from 'vite'
import dns from 'node:dns'

dns.setDefaultResultOrder('verbatim')

export default defineConfig({
  // omit
})

The second case is when wildcard hosts (e.g. 0.0.0.0) are used. This is because servers listening on non-wildcard hosts take priority over those listening on wildcard hosts.

:::

::: tip Accessing the server on WSL2 from your LAN

When running Vite on WSL2, it is not sufficient to set host: true to access the server from your LAN. See the WSL document for more details.

:::

server.port

Type: number
Default: 5173

Specify server port. Note if the port is already being used, Vite will automatically try the next available port so this may not be the actual port the server ends up listening on.

server.strictPort

Type: boolean

Set to true to exit if port is already in use, instead of automatically trying the next available port.

server.https

Type: https.ServerOptions

Enable TLS + HTTP/2. Note this downgrades to TLS only when the server.proxy option is also used.

The value can also be an options object passed to https.createServer().

A valid certificate is needed. For a basic setup, you can add @vitejs/plugin-basic-ssl to the project plugins, which will automatically create and cache a self-signed certificate. But we recommend creating your own certificates.

server.open

Type: boolean | string

Automatically open the app in the browser on server start. When the value is a string, it will be used as the URL's pathname. If you want to open the server in a specific browser you like, you can set the env process.env.BROWSER (e.g. firefox). You can also set process.env.BROWSER_ARGS to pass additional arguments (e.g. --incognito).

BROWSER and BROWSER_ARGS are also special environment variables you can set in the .env file to configure it. See the open package for more details.

Example:

export default defineConfig({
  server: {
    open: '/docs/index.html',
  },
})

server.proxy

Type: Record<string, string | ProxyOptions>

Configure custom proxy rules for the dev server. Expects an object of { key: options } pairs. Any requests that request path starts with that key will be proxied to that specified target. If the key starts with ^, it will be interpreted as a RegExp. The configure option can be used to access the proxy instance.

Note that if you are using non-relative base, you must prefix each key with that base.

Extends http-proxy. Additional options are here.

In some cases, you might also want to configure the underlying dev server (e.g. to add custom middlewares to the internal connect app). In order to do that, you need to write your own plugin and use configureServer function.

Example:

export default defineConfig({
  server: {
    proxy: {
      // string shorthand: http://localhost:5173/foo -> http://localhost:4567/foo
      '/foo': 'http://localhost:4567',
      // with options: http://localhost:5173/api/bar-> http://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/bar
      '/api': {
        target: 'http://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com',
        changeOrigin: true,
        rewrite: (path) => path.replace(/^\/api/, ''),
      },
      // with RegExp: http://localhost:5173/fallback/ -> http://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/
      '^/fallback/.*': {
        target: 'http://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com',
        changeOrigin: true,
        rewrite: (path) => path.replace(/^\/fallback/, ''),
      },
      // Using the proxy instance
      '/api': {
        target: 'http://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com',
        changeOrigin: true,
        configure: (proxy, options) => {
          // proxy will be an instance of 'http-proxy'
        },
      },
      // Proxying websockets or socket.io: ws://localhost:5173/socket.io -> ws://localhost:5174/socket.io
      // Exercise caution using `rewriteWsOrigin` as it can leave the proxying open to CSRF attacks.
      '/socket.io': {
        target: 'ws://localhost:5174',
        ws: true,
        rewriteWsOrigin: true,
      },
    },
  },
})

server.cors

Type: boolean | CorsOptions

Configure CORS for the dev server. This is enabled by default and allows any origin. Pass an options object to fine tune the behavior or false to disable.

server.headers

Type: OutgoingHttpHeaders

Specify server response headers.

server.hmr

Type: boolean | { protocol?: string, host?: string, port?: number, path?: string, timeout?: number, overlay?: boolean, clientPort?: number, server?: Server }

Disable or configure HMR connection (in cases where the HMR websocket must use a different address from the http server).

Set server.hmr.overlay to false to disable the server error overlay.

protocol sets the WebSocket protocol used for the HMR connection: ws (WebSocket) or wss (WebSocket Secure).

clientPort is an advanced option that overrides the port only on the client side, allowing you to serve the websocket on a different port than the client code looks for it on.

When server.hmr.server is defined, Vite will process the HMR connection requests through the provided server. If not in middleware mode, Vite will attempt to process HMR connection requests through the existing server. This can be helpful when using self-signed certificates or when you want to expose Vite over a network on a single port.

Check out vite-setup-catalogue for some examples.

::: tip NOTE

With the default configuration, reverse proxies in front of Vite are expected to support proxying WebSocket. If the Vite HMR client fails to connect WebSocket, the client will fall back to connecting the WebSocket directly to the Vite HMR server bypassing the reverse proxies:

Direct websocket connection fallback. Check out https://vitejs.dev/config/server-options.html#server-hmr to remove the previous connection error.

The error that appears in the Browser when the fallback happens can be ignored. To avoid the error by directly bypassing reverse proxies, you could either:

configure the reverse proxy to proxy WebSocket too
set server.strictPort = true and set server.hmr.clientPort to the same value with server.port
set server.hmr.port to a different value from server.port

:::

server.warmup

Type: { clientFiles?: string[], ssrFiles?: string[] }
Related: Warm Up Frequently Used Files

Warm up files to transform and cache the results in advance. This improves the initial page load during server starts and prevents transform waterfalls.

clientFiles are files that are used in the client only, while ssrFiles are files that are used in SSR only. They accept an array of file paths or fast-glob patterns relative to the root.

Make sure to only add files that are frequently used to not overload the Vite dev server on startup.

export default defineConfig({
  server: {
    warmup: {
      clientFiles: ['./src/components/*.vue', './src/utils/big-utils.js'],
      ssrFiles: ['./src/server/modules/*.js'],
    },
  },
})

server.watch

Type: object | null

File system watcher options to pass on to chokidar.

The Vite server watcher watches the root and skips the .git/, node_modules/, and Vite's cacheDir and build.outDir directories by default. When updating a watched file, Vite will apply HMR and update the page only if needed.

If set to null, no files will be watched. server.watcher will provide a compatible event emitter, but calling add or unwatch will have no effect.

::: warning Watching files in node_modules

It's currently not possible to watch files and packages in node_modules. For further progress and workarounds, you can follow issue #8619.

:::

::: warning Using Vite on Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) 2

When running Vite on WSL2, file system watching does not work when a file is edited by Windows applications (non-WSL2 process). This is due to a WSL2 limitation. This also applies to running on Docker with a WSL2 backend.

To fix it, you could either:

Recommended: Use WSL2 applications to edit your files.
- It is also recommended to move the project folder outside of a Windows filesystem. Accessing Windows filesystem from WSL2 is slow. Removing that overhead will improve performance.
Set { usePolling: true }.
- Note that usePolling leads to high CPU utilization.

:::

server.middlewareMode

Type: boolean
Default: false

Create Vite server in middleware mode.

Related: appType, SSR - Setting Up the Dev Server
Example:

import express from 'express'
import { createServer as createViteServer } from 'vite'

async function createServer() {
  const app = express()

  // Create Vite server in middleware mode
  const vite = await createViteServer({
    server: { middlewareMode: true },
    appType: 'custom', // don't include Vite's default HTML handling middlewares
  })
  // Use vite's connect instance as middleware
  app.use(vite.middlewares)

  app.use('*', async (req, res) => {
    // Since `appType` is `'custom'`, should serve response here.
    // Note: if `appType` is `'spa'` or `'mpa'`, Vite includes middlewares to handle
    // HTML requests and 404s so user middlewares should be added
    // before Vite's middlewares to take effect instead
  })
}

createServer()

server.fs.strict

Type: boolean
Default: true (enabled by default since Vite 2.7)

Restrict serving files outside of workspace root.

server.fs.allow

Type: string[]

Restrict files that could be served via /@fs/. When server.fs.strict is set to true, accessing files outside this directory list that aren't imported from an allowed file will result in a 403.

Both directories and files can be provided.

Vite will search for the root of the potential workspace and use it as default. A valid workspace met the following conditions, otherwise will fall back to the project root.

contains workspaces field in package.json
contains one of the following file
- lerna.json
- pnpm-workspace.yaml

Accepts a path to specify the custom workspace root. Could be a absolute path or a path relative to project root. For example:

export default defineConfig({
  server: {
    fs: {
      // Allow serving files from one level up to the project root
      allow: ['..'],
    },
  },
})

When server.fs.allow is specified, the auto workspace root detection will be disabled. To extend the original behavior, a utility searchForWorkspaceRoot is exposed:

import { defineConfig, searchForWorkspaceRoot } from 'vite'

export default defineConfig({
  server: {
    fs: {
      allow: [
        // search up for workspace root
        searchForWorkspaceRoot(process.cwd()),
        // your custom rules
        '/path/to/custom/allow_directory',
        '/path/to/custom/allow_file.demo',
      ],
    },
  },
})

server.fs.deny

Type: string[]
Default: ['.env', '.env.*', '*.{crt,pem}']

Blocklist for sensitive files being restricted to be served by Vite dev server. This will have higher priority than server.fs.allow. picomatch patterns are supported.

server.fs.cachedChecks

Type: boolean
Default: false
Experimental

Caches filenames of accessed directories to avoid repeated filesystem operations. Particularly in Windows, this could result in a performance boost. It is disabled by default due to edge cases when writing a file in a cached folder and immediately importing it.

server.origin

Type: string

Defines the origin of the generated asset URLs during development.

export default defineConfig({
  server: {
    origin: 'http://127.0.0.1:8080',
  },
})

server.sourcemapIgnoreList

Type: false | (sourcePath: string, sourcemapPath: string) => boolean
Default: (sourcePath) => sourcePath.includes('node_modules')

Whether or not to ignore source files in the server sourcemap, used to populate the x_google_ignoreList source map extension.

server.sourcemapIgnoreList is the equivalent of build.rollupOptions.output.sourcemapIgnoreList for the dev server. A difference between the two config options is that the rollup function is called with a relative path for sourcePath while server.sourcemapIgnoreList is called with an absolute path. During dev, most modules have the map and the source in the same folder, so the relative path for sourcePath is the file name itself. In these cases, absolute paths makes it convenient to be used instead.

By default, it excludes all paths containing node_modules. You can pass false to disable this behavior, or, for full control, a function that takes the source path and sourcemap path and returns whether to ignore the source path.

export default defineConfig({
  server: {
    // This is the default value, and will add all files with node_modules
    // in their paths to the ignore list.
    sourcemapIgnoreList(sourcePath, sourcemapPath) {
      return sourcePath.includes('node_modules')
    },
  },
})

::: tip Note server.sourcemapIgnoreList and build.rollupOptions.output.sourcemapIgnoreList need to be set independently. server.sourcemapIgnoreList is a server only config and doesn't get its default value from the defined rollup options. :::
