That's not possible. localhost always defaults to the loopback device on the local operating system.
As your virtual machine runs its own operating system it has its own loopback device which you cannot access from the outside.
If you want to access it e.g. in a browser, connect to it using the local IP instead:
http://192.168.180.1:8000
This is just an example of course, you can find out the actual IP by issuing an ifconfig command on a shell in the guest operating system.
