BigCommerce's Stencil CLI and port selection

Question

When running stencil start you'll get some information such as

-------------------------------------------------

[Browsersync] Proxying: http://localhost:3001
[Browsersync] Access URLs:
 ---------------------------------------
       Local: http://localhost:3000
    External: http://147.182.158.57:3000
 ---------------------------------------
          UI: http://localhost:3002
 UI External: http://localhost:3002
 ---------------------------------------

I know that I can specify the Local/External port in the config.stencil.json file. However, I don't seem to have any control on the proxying and UI ports which leads to collisions.

Is there a way to specify these? I'd even settle for disabling browsersync and the UI stuff.

Answer 1

You can define the default start port using

stencil init … —port xxxx

However it doesn’t seem like you can change the proxy port.
