Good afternoon, I have troubles with the IPFSHTTPCLIENT library for Python when uploading files to IPFS. It worked when I was running the app on a localhost environment. However, in Heroku, it doesn't, and I guess that it's because of the IP addresses. These are my current config variables and I don't know what should I put in order to make IPFS work again.

IPFS_CONNECT_URL = /ip4/127.0.0.1/tcp/5001/http
IPFS_FILE_URL = http://127.0.0.1:8080/ipfs/

Heroku only lets you bind to a single port and it's intended for handling HTTP requests. If you need multiple ports you'll have to find another host. – ChrisGPT was on strike Apr 18 '21 at 21:32
