Accessing NGINX virtual host in local network

I would like to access a virtual host on my dev workstation (Arch Linux) from mobile or tablet connected in the same network.

My nginx.conf virtual host spec looks like this:

http {

include mime.types;
default_type application/octet-stream;

sendfile on;
keepalive_timeout 65;
client_max_body_size 16M;

# Domain site1.dev
server {
    server_name site1.dev;
    listen 80;
    root /path/to/dir;

    location / {
        root /path/to/dir;
        index index.php;
        try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
    }

    location ~ \.php$ {
        fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php-fpm/php-fpm.sock;
        fastcgi_index index.php;
        fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /path/to/dir/$fastcgi_script_name;
        include fastcgi_params;
    }
}

}

My /etc/hosts file contains:

127.0.0.1    localhost localhost.localdomain site1.dev
192.168.1.11 site1.dev

This works on localhost, but I can't reach site1.dev from phone or tablet connected in the same network. It works only using IP address 192.168.1.11 Is there some way how to make it work using site1.dev name?

dns nginx

You can just replace the server_name site1.dev, by the IP address , if you are developing some website or some backend to do your tests , otherwise you need to configure DNS

I just give it a try and it will be like :

server_name 192.168.1.11;

and you don't need to put is in the hosts file.
