• Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

well let me ask the insultingly-obvious question: are you running some server on your EC2 box that is listening on port 3000?

[quartz lintel]

wait, shit, I forgot that we can only call localhost from locally

jesus

sorry

[prime fulcrum]

I kinda suspected that 🙂

[quartz lintel]

Thank you, I would have spent the next hour on this

[prime fulcrum]

"localhost" is a confusing hostname because it means different things depending on context 🤯

[quartz lintel]

I guess I had to use ngrok now

[prime fulcrum]

dunno what that is

oh, to make your laptop's node.js thing "visible" on the ec2 box?

[quartz lintel]

to proxy my localhost on my machine to a public url

[prime fulcrum]

for just hacking, sure, I guess. But ultimately you'll want to run the node.js server in the cloud as well, I'd expect.

[quartz lintel]

Absolutely, but yeah, Thank you giving your time 🙂

you're awesome

[prime fulcrum]

indeed I am 🤣
