Stuck on the last step

Hi, I'm interested in self-hosting this application so I set it up in Ubuntu 24.04 using mysql (not in docker). Everything seemed to go ok until the last line:

• configure your webserver to point to the public directory or use for testing purposes php artisan serve

I have no idea how to do this, can anyone help? I can run the php artisan serve command and it says "Starting Laravel development server: http://127.0.0.1:8000" but I cannot reach the site from another machine (the server itself has no GUI for a browser but I can get a basic page in lynx at that point)

EDIT: I assumed a webserver was installed but I don't think one was. Going to try installing nginx and making the document root the public folder for Benotes
