Connecting to a web server on a local network

Installing and Using OpenWrt
1

I have deployed a web server on a headless Ubuntu machine on my local network. The server is running an app that I would like to access from my laptop (another machine on my local network) using the browser like this: http://192.168.1.200:8080

(The app is running in a Docker container and maps connections from port 8080 to port 80)

When browsing to http://192.168.1.200:8080/ however I get a ‘unable to find server’ error.

The web server has a static DHCP lease set to 192.168.1.200

Is there anything I need to do in Openwrt to allow a connection from my laptop to my server in this way?

Not if they're on the same LAN.

Which type ? LAN (cable) or WiFi ?

It’s a LAN

Then openwrt-router is not envolved, like frollic wrote already.
