📝 Describe your problem

My problem is simple. 1. I checked out the repo with git/gix. 2. I did pnpm install. 3. I did npm run dev 4. As I have many services running on my computer, port 3001 is busy and server can't start up.

2023-11-30T12:01:24+01:00 [SERVER] DEBUG: Init the server
2023-11-30T12:01:24+01:00 [SERVER] ERROR: Cannot listen: listen EADDRINUSE: address already in use :::3001
2023-11-30T12:01:24+01:00 [SERVER] INFO: Shutdown requested

I did not see instruction to change the port in the doc, and I'm not on docker, but running it on metal. Ideally, I'd like npm run dev to work with alternate ports.

Where do I set such a configuration for uptime-kuma ?

Ah...

Hard-coded in server/server.js:

const port = [ args.port, process.env.UPTIME_KUMA_PORT, process.env.PORT, 3001 ]

OK. I'll try this environment variable or argument.

If you can change the port by the environment variable or argument, then logically it is not hard-coded.

Close as you find the answer by yourself.

ok. sorry.

Though having more thorough configuration docs would be welcome. That is the goal of this ticket.
