Definition

The current Reader does not read these environment variables. Use --host and --port instead.

Pass address options to the Reader

In the Reader snapshot named above, changing these environment variables does not change the listening address. Pass the documented command options instead:

observatory-reader out/observatory.sqlite --host 127.0.0.1 --port 8765

Replace the database path with your result file. The loopback address keeps this example local to the machine running the Reader.

Check the startup command

If the Reader still starts on an unexpected port, inspect the command used by the terminal, launcher or service. An exported OBSERVATORY_READER_PORT value is not an active override in this snapshot. For a public service, follow the separate Reader hosting and authentication instructions instead of changing the address alone.
