Odoo 16 CE Ubuntu

Question

Hello - We have installed odoo 16 ce on Ubuntu. Where are the web files being served from? I have disabled Apache and Ngnix is not installed but the files are still being server. Odoo documentation states that there is an internal server, how is it accessed and where are the files located?
I am asking because I was to use https 443 for secure connections via the community edition.
Please help.
Thanks

Odoo uses Werkzeug ( https://pypi.org/project/Werkzeug/ [1] ) as a WSGI type server ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_Server_Gateway_Interface [2] ). This is usually fine for development, but for production (especially if you want to use SSL) it is recommended to use something like NGINX, Traefik, etc.
