There does not seem to be a way to make the service listen on a port different than 3000, which is problematic since it's quite a commonly used port.

Having an environment variable PORT=xxxx would be quite helpful to avoid clashes with other services.

@MohamedBassem you are 100% right, my bad. I tried adding it to my .env file but it seems I forgot to restart the service...

I didn't see it in the docs so I thought to open an issue. Anyway, sorry for the false flag. You guys made a great app!
