Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/0xJacky/nginx-ui/issues/960

Describe the bug
Choosing 9000 as the default port for this app is strange since it's the default port for php-fpm! I tried to run Nginx UI on a different port using --config app.ini option, but that didn't work. Here is my app.ini:

$ cat app.ini 
[server]
HttpPort = 8000

And here is the error I get when trying to run the app:

$ ./nginx-ui --config app.ini
2025/04/15 02:08:06 [overseer] disabled. run failed: listen tcp :9000: bind: address already in use
2025-04-15 02:08:06     INFO    /home/runner/work/nginx-ui/nginx-ui/main.go:44  Server exited

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

create app.ini as given above
run the app: ./nginx-ui --config app.ini
See the error

Expected behavior
The app should work while listing to port 8000 instead of 9000.

Info (please complete the following information):

Server OS: Alpine Linux v3.21
Server Arch: x86-64
Nginx UI Version: v2.0.0-rc.5
Your Browser: Safari, Firefox]

Additional context
I couldn't install the app using the install script because Alpine Linux does not support systemd
