Codeigniter如何正确使用base_url？

Question

I am having a little trouble with base_url in codeigniter, let's say if I don't set my $config['base_url'] in the config/config.php file, calling base_url will produce [::1], this is not what I want, I want it to return localhost, so I set $config['base_url'] = 'localhost', yup it return localhost/bla/bla

when accessed locally, HOWEVER if I access my project remotely from another computer, it DOES keep returning 'localhost' too while what I want is to return the base_url as in the ip address of the server (i.e 192.168.1.8 etc).

I am very sure CI team has thought this through and has a special solution or parameter in the base_url however I wasn't able to find it or I am not searching enough. Anyway thanks in advance.

You can assign base_url dynamically using host

$config['base_url'] = 'http://'.$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].'/';
