Is it possible to change the API port?

The API sits on port 9000, which for me is already occupied by Portainer. When creating the container, I used the nightly docker-compose file to change it to 9004, but the only thing that showed up was a JSON page with {"detail":"Not Found"}.

My compose file

version: "3.7"
services:
  mealie-omni:
    image: hkotel/mealie:omni-nightly
    container_name: mealie
    restart: always
    ports:
      - "8888:3000"
      - "9004:9000"
    volumes:
      - mealie-data:/app/data/
    environment:
      - ALLOW_SIGNUP=false
      - PUID=1000
      - PGID=1000
      - TZ=America/Anchorage
      - BASE_URL=http://192.168.0.XXX

volumes:
  mealie-data:
    driver: local
    driver_opts:
      type: none
      o: bind
      device: /path/to/mealie

The 9000 part of the port is internal to each container. So both mealie and portainer can listen on port 9000 within their containers.
As long as in your compose file you map them differently (as above you have mapped the mealie one to 9004).
Having said that, I am not sure what the issue is with the API. I have never used the API. Seeing as you get a JSON page back on port 9004, to me that sounds like the API is working and returning a message, so maybe there's a syntax error on your end. What are you sending to port 9004?

[shimizurei]

I didn't send anything to the API. I just opened the page http://192.168.0.XXX:9004. As long as this is a normal response, then that's fine. I was playing around with Bar Assistant and when I went to the page for meilisearch (/search) and it said {"status":"Meilisearch is running"}, so I expected something similar.

The fact that you're getting those responses back means it is working.
