I will second this request. Having a way to configure the port to something other than 8080 is a must.

I'm going to have to disable Docketeer until this is possible, so another +1 here.

It looks like we can just modify a few files and it should work. I am going to create a fork with a different port than 8080. Which port do you guys think would be best? 5893 seems like a good used port. If I understand correctly, this port is just used internally within docketeer?

Yea, I think pick something unusual. Would be nice to be able to set an env var (or something) to be able to set it to something if that is also used. I think the problem is that not that it is used internally, but that it listens on that port externally.

I went with 5893 for now. I agree with making it modifiable within the compose file being the best solution via a variable. It seems to work but unfortunately due to another sign up bug I can not login and test. I even tried making the change with version XII (which is what my code is currently based off of). _Edit: I also made some changes to have a .env file with the port configurable. It also seems to work, but unable to fully test without being able to log in._
