Unable to connect to nx app running inside docker container

Question

I am unable to open the app from browser. Running the following command inside docker:

nx serve --port 80

Docker is started with following command:

docker run -p 80:80 -d <my_nx_app_image>

I am able to get the index.html from terminal (inside running docker container)

wget http://localhost:80

Steps:

• Open project.json file of your nx app.
• Find the key "serve" and search for parameter "configuration" under it.
• Add a param with name "hostname" with value 0.0.0.0

Example:

"production": {
      "buildTarget": "<your_nx_app>:build:production",
      "dev": false,
      "hostname": "0.0.0.0"
    }

Note: By default nx daemon does not allow remote connections on ports below 1024 by default.
