PM2 cannot start my Angular app while ng serve (run) do

What's going wrong?

Hello,
I just try to deploy my angular app V13 with the tool pm2. everything was going well until i tried to setup my certificate and deploy ssl for https.

How could we reproduce this issue?

I setup the package.json
ng run <myproject>:serve-zip --configuration production --host 0.0.0.0 --disable-host-check --ssl
and the angular.json

"serve-zip": {
"builder": "@angular-builders/custom-webpack:dev-server",
"options": {
"browserTarget": "e-learning:build-zip:production",
"ssl": true,
"sslKey": "./ssl/server.key",
"sslCert": "./ssl/server.crt",
"publicHost":":4200"
},
"configurations": {
"production": {
"browserTarget": ":build-zip:production"
},
"development": {
"browserTarget": ":build-zip:development"
}
},
"defaultConfiguration": "production"
},

Supporting information

When i launch with the command ng run directly everything is ok but when i use pm2 start i got this error

5|pl-front |             const address = devServer.server.address();
5|pl-front |                                              ^
5|pl-front | TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'address')```

Reproduce the difference between running the Angular command directly and starting it with PM2, using the package.json and angular.json configuration shown. Inspect /node_modules/@angular-devkit/build-webpack/src/webpack-dev-server/index.js around line 79 and review the PM2 report and restart logs. Done means the configured HTTPS Angular process starts under PM2 without the undefined address error or restart loop.
