port and IP as shown on flightaware site information

[mo8Zomo0]

Hi @mikenye &all,

first of all thx for the great work and documentation. I found some minor thing to improve:

https://flightaware.com/adsb/stats/user/ shows the internal IP and port of the local webinterface
under "site information": "Web Interface: View live data (requires local network connection)"
which shows as: http://172.17.0.6:8080/

This is the internal docker IP address or piaware:
docker inspect -f '{{range.NetworkSettings.Networks}}{{.IPAddress}}{{end}}' piaware
172.20.0.6

As I assume that at least the IP is reported from the piaware image somehow, it might be nice if this could get an option,
like default(current behaviour), auto-detect (which could show the main locally routed ip and the correct port (here 8081), or manual, where you can change it to what you want.

Hi @mo8Zomo0,

I'm not sure I can implement this without making changes to the piaware source code.

Piaware gets the host's IP address by getting the output of the command ip -o address show dev $dev.

It appears to be this section in the piaware source code:
https://github.com/flightaware/piaware/blob/515841346eb6783d1bf9553675aef988fe64748b/package/fa_sysinfo.tcl#L197

There doesn't appear to be a setting that overrides this.

Did you have any thoughts on how we could achieve this outside of modifying the piaware source code?

@mikenye no, not aware how to archive this without patching piaware.
So maybe (as its not really a mikenye issue, but a general docker/piaware issue, I opened a case
towards: flightaware/piaware#70
So lets see.

thx!
