I was trying to deploy a simple Node.js app which uses parcel. When deploying I get a successful deployment but the page does not display and I get these errors:
[lit-chat] [2022-03-23 22:08:23] yarn run v1.22.18 [lit-chat] [2022-03-23 22:08:23] $ parcel index.html [lit-chat] [2022-03-23 22:08:50] Server running at http://localhost:8080 [lit-chat] [2022-03-23 22:08:50] Building…
How do I tell the deployment to bind to the given public url? I have tried specifying the --public-url in package.json as well but there was no change.

Hello,
I believe that you should be able to specify the host that your Parcel app binds on using the
--hostargument.In your case you could use
--host 0.0.0.0so that the Parcel app would be accessible from the outside world.Alternatively, you could leave the app on localhost and use Nginx as a reverse proxy. For more information on how to do that you can take a look at step 5 here:

Hope that this helps.
Best,
