Listening to a specific IP

[JohnDiorroer]

Describe the bug
While trying to install strapi on a production server I encountered a problem. The HTTP server does not listen on the IP configured in my files: config/environments/<>/server.json.

To make it work I had to replace:

this.server.listen (this.config.port, async err => {

by

this.server.listen (this.config.port, this.config.host, async err => {

in the Strapi.js file.

Is there another way for the application to launch by listening to a specific IP?

For your work, thank you.

Hello!
I suppose you host your server in a AWS or Heroku or Digital Ocean.
You have to keep your localhost for the host value.
