localhost:8000 resolves to localhost and "this site can't be reached" but localhost:8000/services works

[admin]

When I enter

localhost:8000

in my Chrome browser, it redirects to

localhost

and gives me the ol' "This site can’t be reached - localhost refused to connect."

Going to

localhost:8000/wp-admin

and

localhost:8000/services

both work fine.

I am using <a href="https://github.com/brainbytes/docker-compose-wordpress" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Docker-Wordpress-Compose</a>.

Here is my hosts file:

127.0.0.1       localhost
255.255.255.255 broadcasthost
::1             localhost

Here is what I get when I

ping localhost

PING localhost (127.0.0.1): 56 data bytes

And when I

ping localhost:8000

ping: cannot resolve localhost:8000: Unknown host
