Is it possible to configure Herd/nginx to accept connection on IP:PORT instead of URL?

[jtomlinson]

I need to be able to connect a local android device to my development environment. Previously, on Linux, using apache/haproxy, I was able to configure a connection using an IP and port (http://192.168.1.46:8080) to allow the external device to connect to my laravel dev environment. I know I can use Expose to make this connection, but since I don't actually need to serve the site outside of my local network it would be nice to not have to use Expose if possible.

The easiest way, without breaking any additional sites, would be to run herd isolate [PHP-VERSION] for this specific site.
This generates a custom nginx configuration file that will be loaded when nginx starts.

There you can pretty much customize everything you want. The file itself can be found here: ~/Library/Application Support/Herd/config/valet/Nginx/

This got me partway there. I am able to access http://ipaddress, but seeing the Herd 404 page. Do I need to configure something in Herd itself to serve my site from the IP address?

I was able to get this working by adding my local IP to server_name in the nginx configuration file.

server_name site.test 172.16.1.58;

And then in my .env file I changed APP_URL from site.test to 172.16.1.58 and was able to access the site, by IP, locally and from an android device.
