No need to change the default port to 8002. Users can change their port in the env file via "WEB_PORT=".
And config.js is anyways the wrong place to set user config, because it will be compiled into the runtime (for runtime versions). User configuration should be done in the env file.

I had a server running on this port on my dev machine already. I thought I had changed that back before doing the pull request. Sorry. I fixed it now.

This should be done like all the other user configurable presets:
config.interface = process.env.WEB_INTERFACE || null;
Then the user can set the interface in his .env file with:
WEB_INTERFACE = "wlan0"

On my windows machine, it looks to try to listen on an interface without a valid ip (169. etc). This will allow for a config.interface name to be set in config.js and used to discover the correct IP address.
