You have a big SAFE router, between the world and your home PC blocking port 8080 (and all the others)

You need to configure Port forwarding, reserved or static ip for your content server PC (so it never changes).

You need to consult the Routers help (after careful consideration of the perils of opening any pin-hole in a firewall) to configure.
