How should I access an app started with: php artisan serve --host=0.0.0.0 --port=8080

Question

The question is in the title, I am trying to dockerise a laravel app, and I start it with

php artisan serve --host=0.0.0.0 --port=8080

But then I try to access:

http://0.0.0.0:8080

but it doesn't work

How should I access it ???

docker-compose.yml:

version: '3'
services:
  app:
    build: .

`localhost` always refers to the current machine. If you use docker, you don't want to use `localhost`, but the IP or hostname of your dockerized machine — Nico Haase, Mar 27 '18 at 15:37

I've read this article, but in my case, I don't want to use nginx. Also, I want to include all my dependencies into my image so it can be deployable. — Juliatzin, Mar 27 '18 at 15:41

Ok, I found my ip: 172.20.0.2, but now I get a timeout.... a bit better but still not working — Juliatzin, Mar 27 '18 at 15:44
@TarunLalwani, in Dockerfile, I use: CMD php artisan serve --host=0.0.0.0 --port=8080 and in I run docker-compose build, and docker-compose up — Juliatzin, Mar 27 '18 at 18:35
I'd note that you should not use `php artisan serve` in production. — ceejayoz, Mar 27 '18 at 18:42
You have not mapped the ports? Add `ports: - "8080:8080"` to the compose file — Tarun Lalwani, Mar 27 '18 at 18:43
@TarunLalwani adding ports worked :) Please add it as answer — Juliatzin, Mar 27 '18 at 21:19

The reason this is not working is that you have not mapped the ports

Add below to the service which is exposing the 8080 port.

ports:
  - "8080:8080"
