Why do you need two ports?

[spewu]

I am confused about why you need two ports to the same application .. what is the purpose of this?

It makes it difficult to put this behind a reverse proxy, and as far as I can see, there is no information in the readme about why this is needed.

FYI: I pushed the docker image to a public Docker Hub repo: https://hub.docker.com/repository/docker/sohape/ward/ - hope that is OK? (I see MIT license, so I assume it is, but let me know if I should remove it again)

Thanks a lot for creating the project - it looks really nice!

Same question

It seems that if you run the application first, you need to set the port, then it was saved in setup.ini, when you run the application next, the app while using the port in setup.ini.
However, I don't know why the author designed it this way. Maybe the user can set the port they wanted easily.

I have revived this project and removed the need for an application port.
