Hi! The app is based on the node app boilerplate , so it uses vite. I basically want for my app to have a static port on localhost when I launch npm run dev. Currently it always generates a random port in the range 3xxxx, but I’d like to set it to let’s say 3000. How do I achieve this? I tried play…

@zk-ant , For npm run start… Look for .env file, if it doesn’t exist I pasted an example below. Add the following variable to your .env file: PORT=3000 SHOPIFY_API_KEY=“YOUR_SHOPIFY_API_KEY” SHOPIFY_API_SECRET=“YOUR_SHOPIFY_SECRET” HOST=“YOUR_TUNNEL_URL” SHOP=“ my-shop-name.myshopify.com ” SC…

ok, got it. I set BACKEND_PORT=3000 in the dev command, and now vite still serves it on a random port, but now the express app is listening on 3000

Now I see that in the current version of the template your solution should work, but my template was generated by the shopify cli, so it uses this template . Which overrides the PORT with the BACKEND_PORT if it’s set.

@zk-ant , Sounds like you should set FRONTEND_PORT and BACKEND_PORT = 3000, see if that works.

as I found in README.md , we need to set up cloudflare. :disappointed_face:

The PORT is set in the .env alright, just that the env var gets overwritten somehow I guess. Not just PORT, but BACKEND_PORT and FRONTEND_PORT too.
