i think you should re-consider this choice for a few reasons. - every software has to do this, and they pretty much just do it and make it an option to configure. - just assume folks will run this in a docker container and it becomes an entirely mute point. - you have literally ostracized your core audience by making it impossible to run in a docker container.

just some thoughts. wish i could try it, but i'm not firing up my linux vm just to do so, knowing I can't run it reliably anywhere (because if it's choosing random ports, how will i now it won't randomly conflict with something?)
