That you can access the machine via ssh and the fact that the database is
running does not mean you can access it on port 8000 *and* that the gnuhealth
server is running.

For the firewall - depending on the operating system - you need to open the
port 8000. In case you use firewalld by
su
firewall-cmd --zone=public --permanent --add-port=8000/udp
firewall-cmd --zone=public --permanent --add-port=8000/tcp
firewall-cmd --reload

(or via your system management tool, e.g. YaST)

systemctl status gnuhealth
should tell you if your server is running

alternative...
telnet localhost 8000
from your server should tell you as well.
