Please provide start up documentation and proper configuration instructions to load this. Created a private folder and a .env file that pointed to a port and it would not register the port's existence.

Hey, the private directory needs to be outside the project directory... so structure should be something like...

So completely outside the the project directory (up another level from the server folder). Then put your .env file inside the private folder, and the server.js config should pick it up. You also need to defined the database process.env.MONGO_URL in the .env file.
