Hi, thanks for what looks to be a great project!

I followed the README instructions on how to build my own binary and web-vault which went great (Debian Stretch). When I start bitwarden_rs it seems happy saying "Rocket has launched from https://localhost:8000".

However, whenever I try to connect with "curl https://my.domain.com:8000" (or a web browser) I always get "connection refused" even if I'm on the server.

I'm sure I'm doing something incredibly silly but I can't seem to fix it. I know DNS and my SSL certs are fine because that's working with other things I have running. Below is the script I use to launch bitwarden_rs if that's helpful. Any help is really appreciated. Thanks!

export DOMAIN=https://my.domain.com:8000
export ROCKET_TLS='{certs="/etc/letsencrypt/live/my.domain.com/fullchain.pem",key="/etc/letsencrypt/live/my.domain.com/privkey.pem"}'
./bitwarden_rs
