I installed node, deployed my app (vue.js / nuxt app) and used npm install. When I use npm start it uses nuxt start and I get the message OPEN http://localhost:3000, which seems to be correct because if I open a second terminal and use netstat -plnt I get
will not be shown, you would have to be root to see it all.)
Active Internet connections (only servers)

tcp6 0 0 :::22 :::* LISTEN -```
I also if I use ```curl http://localhost:3000``` in a second terminal the app seems to work. However, if I enter ```http://MY_IP:3000/``` or ```http://MY_IP/``` in my browers I get ```Unable to connect - Firefox can’t establish a connection to the server at MY_IP:3000.```
Sorry, I am still quite new to this - what am I doing wrong here? Why can't I access my app externally? Thanks for any help!

I think I found the solution. I added the following to my package.json file:
"config": {
"nuxt": {
"host": "0.0.0.0",
"port": "3333"
}
}
Apparently, 127.0.0.1 as host was the problem.
