I have installed a node based lightweight web server https://www.npmjs.com/package/http-server in my droplet and trying to serve a directory with it.
mkdir web
cd web
http-server
This shows the output as -
Starting up http-server, serving ./ Available on: http://127.0.0.1:8080 http://139.59.71.167:8080 http://10.47.0.5:8080
But when I try to access http://139.59.71.167:8080 from my browser, it times out. However, logging in to another terminal via ssh and running curl http://139.59.71.167:8080
gets the output.
Could anyone please indicate what I need to do to access the server from outside the network?

Hi @jaibatrik
Can you check if your firewall is active?
And run this command to show listening services:
