@gamerlv commented on GitHub (Dec 21, 2022):

The manage.py runserver is only intended for development of the application, thus it only started on localhost. You tried to access it externally. For production deployment it is recommended to to setup a full Django stack using uWSGI or gunicorn.

It may be easier to use Docker compose to setup a running instance.
