How to expose host to external device if using vite with php dev server?

[Arturexe]

I'm using inertia, a monolithic approach to develop apps with a frontend framework like vue and laravel as backend. I'm trying to connect a mobile device from my network to my development server, which uses vite with php server:

1. run vite:

vite

2. run php server:

php artisan serve

The site is served from http://localhost:8000. From How to expose 'host' for external device display? #3396 I read, that you can do something like this:

vite --host

which should expose your network:

  vite v2.9.13 dev server running at:

  > Local:    http://localhost:3000/
  > Network:  http://192.xxxxxxxxx:3000/

  ready in 419ms.

but when I try to connect to the network url on my phone, this page can't be found. I've also tried to connect with port 8000 which shows this site can't be reached.

Any way to make it work?
