Setting Port Number

[uwedisch]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When someone has several instances of tgcf running on the same machine the instances grab the next free port, beginning with 8501.

Describe the solution you'd like
I'd like to have the option to set the port number that tgcf binds to.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Starting several instances with one script is not practial. Using Docker for several instances is also not practical because every instance has more than 2 GB data.

Additional context
Running several instances on the same machine is most practial from the point of ressources, but not predictable in relation of the port number a tgcf instance is using.

I run three instances of TGCF on the same machine, each with a different port and using a different Python virtual environment without any issues. TGCF 1 runs on the default Streamlit port, 8501, while TGCF 2 and 3 run on my chosen ports, which i configured by changing the default Streamlit port in the Streamlit configuration.

Where in the configuration?
What parameters to provide?

Why do you run 3 instances? Do you use 3 different api_id and api_hash?

@uwedisch
Find the streamlit configuration on
/your-TGCF-directory/.venv/lib/python3.~/site-packages/streamlit/config.py

Change the default value to any port of your choice and restart your TGCF

@poliandro
Yes, i run three different TGCF instances, each serving a different purpose, on the same machine/VPS with three different TG APIs and hashes

What is about updates when config.py receiving changes because of changed package? Are getting these changes and my changes merged?
