`npm run dev-api` Couch request timeout

Development

I’ve been facing this error while trying to npm run dev-api on my Linux machine.
I followed the steps mentioned here

}

Not sure why that is the case I can go to http://localhost:5984 on my browser using medic:password for authentication to get the image attached as the response.

Using curl has the same effect:

➜  cht-core git:(master) ✗ curl -u medic:password http://localhost:5984/

{"couchdb":"Welcome","version":"3.4.2","git_sha":"6e5ad2a5c","uuid":"f999d114-f8d7-43f8-8af5-8af15a449a75","features":["access-ready","partitioned","pluggable-storage-engines","reshard","scheduler"],"vendor":{"name":"The Apache Software Foundation"}}

{
  method: 'GET',
  headers: {
    authorization: 'Basic bWVkaWM6cGFzc3dvcmQ=',
    accept: 'application/json',
    'content-type': 'application/json'
  },
  uri: 'http://localhost:5984/'
}

This is logged from couch-request.js

This works fine on my WSL setup, but not on my Linux Mint setup.
Thanks.

Update:
@sugat sat with me on a call for ~40 mins to debug this, we tried a bunch of stuff like running a default couchdb container, using cht-docker-compose, writing scripts in different languages to send requests to couch etc.
He finally asked me to check my /etc/hosts file which mapped localhost to 128.0.0.1 for some reason, changing it to 127.0.0.1 fixed this.

Thanks a lot @sugat for your time and patience!!
