The README.md file is excellent. One (if not the) best set of instruction's I've gone through for a NodeJS application. Thank you to whoever put those together. As someone who knows very little to nothing about NodeJS, I was able to get the thing running... on FreeBSD.

I ran into a slight issue. I need to change the listen address for Express. The settings.json file doesn't show how to do that and neither does the README, even though it clearly shows how to change the port number.

Oh, I just realized there is no current ability to do that. I've created #48 to hopefully address it

Sorry for the long delay, I don't recall getting a notification about this or the PR which is strange and I just noticed it here now. Thanks for the PR and for letting me know it (mostly) works on FreeBSD. I've only tested on Linux/MacOS/Windows and the :: address works on all I've tried so far which is why there wasn't an option to change that earlier. I'll need to find time to install FreeBSD and test out your changes before I merge the PR changes, but it's now on my radar

@tuaris I was able to get FreeBSD 14.1 installed this week and managed to get the explorer working. I had no problems with the "::" address and didn't need your pull request to make things work. I spent a bit more time trying to emulate your issue by disabling and then removing ipv6 and the explorer continued to work. No matter what I did, I couldn't break it. Perhaps I missed a step but from what I'm seeing the "::" option works fine 99.9% of the time for all systems and everyone except you.

That being said, can you provide more details about how you were able to set up freebsd to not work with "::"? For example, did you choose to NOT install ipv6 from the beginning maybe? I haven't tried that yet but with all the time I've spent on this problem so far, I'm feeling like you need to go to great lengths to break your system like this or maybe you are running an older version of FreeBSD? Any info you can think of that might be relevant would be appreciated because I am not going to apply a PR without being able to test it myself first and so far everything works great without it using a default install of FreeBSD like it does for every other system that has been tested.
