Can confirm I have the same issue - have been able to confirm that there is a process listening on port 8080 - so that's at least something.

Will see what I get it I telnet directly to that service.

If you try to open http://localhost:8080/ without running docfx serve at all, do you get status 404 then too? If you do, that means there's a different web server interfering.
