Hello there,

after some big struggles and diving deeply into the nodejs matter I finally found out that my EADDRNOTAVAIL errors have one simple reason. My fault wasn't about the port-forwarding to the server (that is of course required! each for the web-port, e.g. 3000, and for the notifications server, e.g. 1986), but trying to run the Dashboard and the Notification Server on the same host. The simple reason is that the notification server port is already in use and can't be listened on again on the same machine. So much for my headaches and I hope I can stop others that way from getting some.
But now my obvious question: Is it possible to run both servers on one machine and still use the notification server with the dashboard? Certainly this won't work with the current code/solution, but what changes are needed to get it done?

With best regards,

Alex

P.S.: Thanks for this great project and your awesome work!
