Please add env var to specify the listening port

Hello,
Please add an environment variable to change the listening TCP port to something else than 8080. In a traditional bridge network Docker/Podman deployment, the host is NATing the port and we can remap it using the -p switch when deploying the container. However, when using a MacVlan or IPVlan network, no remap is available and we are forced to use port 8080.
Thanks!

What would be the reason to use a MacVlan or IPVlan? In any non-personal setup you should run a reverse proxy in front of the container anyway?

Using MacVlan or IPvlan networks is a great way of decoupling the app from its host. Also, when firewall rules are required (this is my case), they don't need to be modified if the app (container) moves to another host. Specifically, in my case, the host and the app container are not even on the same VLAN.

Yes, that requires one IP address per container (or for each Podman pod in my case), and IP address exhaustion would be an issue for large organizations. In my case (home business) it is not.

I am using Dokuwiki internally, it is not exposed to the Internet. So having the communication in plain HTTP is not a privacy issue and is not worth the trouble of deploying another container (reverse proxy) just to remap the port. For my use case, it would be overkill.

So, I was hoping that the solution can be as simple as being able to specify a different listening port as an environment variable when deploying the container.
