can't reach home assistant on port 8123 from my browser

Just set up Home Assistant on a Raspberry Pi. homeassistant.local:8123 times out on my laptop and phone. The Pi shows up in the router's device list though. Any ideas what's blocking it?

Type the address in full starting with plain http, not https. Browsers these days try the secure version first and Home Assistant doesn't serve that out of the box, so it just times out. And use the IP address rather than homeassistant.local, the .local name doesn't resolve on every network. Your router's device list will show the IP. If it's running in a VM, the network adapter needs to be bridged, not NAT, or nothing else on the network can see it.
