Normally you would use nginx or another web server as a reverse proxy. However if you’re set on accessing the app directly, have it listen on 0.0.0.0 instead of 127.0.0.1.

Check out if there is any firewall rules preventing web access. Also use netstat to see what addresses:ports are available and listening to connections:

netstat -plnt
