Here it shows the Admin URI... just copy and save it in any location. later we will access using that URI.

Now we want to open the magento on browser using our custom domain name.for that we want to enable devloper mode and execute some commands.commands given below.

bin/magento deploy:mode:set developer 
bin/magento se:up && bin/magento se:d:c && bin/magento c:c
