I think @Aashay1 was referring to the fact that it should **not** report that it is running on “localhost” - the correct message would be:

> server is up and running on [http://0.0.0.0:5005](http://0.0.0.0:5005)

localhost is a different (loopback) address, `127.0.0.1`, and is _not_ externally reachable.
