configuration (server port)

[illume]

Current situation

Currently the server process port is hard coded. Perhaps people will want to use another one.

Configuration of other things may be needed.

Impact

Some people won't be able to run Headlamp if it's not configured for their environment.

Each configuration increases the size of the testing matrix.

Ideal future situation

People can configure Headlamp so they are comfy.

Implementation options

There's already some command line options (for headless mode).

How could they configure this (and other things)?

• environment variables
• command line
• configure in the app (for people not using the command line)
• a configuration file (perhaps writable by the app but not when hosted)
• Headlamp can run in different ways: app, hosted, headless

User can now configure port in headlamp. So, closing this.
