Add ability to change front end port tcp:3000 to something else
I haven't customized a windows machine much but run into an error when trying to start up the assistant locally. Meaning, Open-Assistant is trying to use a port is in use by a system process.
OS Name Microsoft Windows 11 Pro

TCP 0.0.0.0:3000 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING 4788
the 4788 process listening on port 3000 is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Svchost.exe.
My quick work around
I searched the repository and changed any instance of 3000 (that was specific to networks) to 3239. The 3239 number was chosen by random human fingers.
open-assistant-web-1 | Listening on port 3239 url: http://localhost:3239
It works 👍 . I'm not suggesting this as the solution, but this repository could use an environment variable or some other mechanism to change the number when there is a conflict.
Also sorry if there is another clear work around, feel free to close if there is. The FAQ has some suggestions for other ports but I didn't see another way to change the localhost:3000. Maybe suggestion is to do some kind of port forwarding on the container, but seems like it should be configurable
Docker Port Problems
Oftentimes people already have some Postgres instance running on the dev machine. To avoid port problems, change the ports in the docker-compose.yml to ones excluding 5433, like:
Change db.ports to - 5431:5431.
Add POSTGRES_PORT: 5431 to db.environment
Change webdb.ports to - 5432:5431
Add POSTGRES_PORT: 5431 to db.environment
Add - POSTGRES_PORT=5432 to backend.environment
Change web.environment.DATABASE_URL to postgres://postgres:postgres@webdb:5432/oasst_web
Why not localhost port number 8000?
http://127.0.0.1:8000/
If the user are facing some issue with the 8000 port then they can just change it in the some configuration file. Just like Django localhost. What do you think?

8000 is used by the backend.
