When executing the command: NODE_ENV=production npm run start to start server with production settings, it seems to work fine with little errors, and the following message displays:

However, when navigating to this url, the browser does not load the page. Instead, it displays the error message:
This site can’t be reached
The web page at http://0.0.0.0:1337/admin might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address.

0.0.0.0 is not the same as local host 0.0.0.0 should be 127.0.0.1 or localhost

Just to expand on this answer.
0.0.0.0 means any IP, while the most significant difference between localhost and 127.0. 0.1 is that there is a need to have a lookup table in case of localhost, while in 127.0. 0.1, we do not need to look up a table somewhere .

Thank you both. I used the code snippets from the documentation which is why I have used 0.0.0.0 as part of the host variable.
After changing the APP_HOST/HOST value in the .env file (which contains the environment variables), after rebuilding the server using the command NODE_ENV=production npm run build and after restarting the server by executing the command NODE_ENV=production npm run start, the following message displays:

Create your first administrator 💻 by going to the administration panel at:
┌─────────────────────────────┐

This time, when navigating to this url, the browser successfully loads the Strapi Admin page at the link:
http://127.0.0.1:1337/admin/auth/register-admin
Thank you!
