node.js - When I run npm run develop on server, I am unable to access it on the server IP, why?

Question

I am trying to run Strapi project on AWS Lightsail server. When I run the command npm run develop, i can not access the admin dashboard. However, it works fine on my local computer. Am I missing something?

In your config/server.js file, change the host ip directly or through environment variables like :

module.exports = 
({ env }) = > ({
    port: env.int('MYPORT','Your default value if your port not 
    accessible'),
    host: env('MYHOSTIP','default value'),
});

Now in your .env create your variables:

MYPORT=8080
MYHOSTIP=192.168.172.112
