Consul UI does not show

Question

Running single node Consul (v1.8.4) on Ubuntu 18.04. consul service is up, I had set the ui to be true (default). But when I try access http://192.168.37.128:8500/ui This site can’t be reached 192.168.37.128 took too long to respond.

ui.json

{
"addresses": {
"http": "0.0.0.0"
  }
}

consul.service file:

[Unit] Description=Consul Documentation=https://www.consul.io/ [Service] ExecStart=/usr/bin/consul agent –server –ui –data-dir=/temp/consul –bootstrap-expect=1 –node=vault –bind=–config-dir=/etc/consul.d/ ExecReload=/bin/kill –HUP $MAINPID LimitNOFILE=65536 [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target
