set static port for oakapp?

johnmiller

Hello!

I need my application to start up on a static port. 8080 preferably. Currently it looks like oak agent dynamically assigns a port and puts it in OAKAPP_STATIC_FRONTEND_PORT.

Thank you in advance for your help!

I think this ended up being as easy as adding below to my oakapp.toml. Seems to be working!

[env]

OAKAPP_STATIC_FRONTEND_PORT = "8080"

Yes, the best option here is

[env]
OAKAPP_STATIC_FRONTEND_PORT = "8080"

For context: oak-agent (the service that runs your app) automatically picks a free port in the range 9000-9128 and puts it into OAKAPP_STATIC_FRONTEND_PORT env var, which your app then uses.

If you hardcode a value in the env section, you override this assignment. That's ok as long as your device is only running a single app, so you're not risking port collisions.
