Environment port not used on a local PC
When I execute pnpm dev, the website loads under port 3000 (seems like the default one) but the .env have explicity
PORT=3500
NODE_ENV=development
.....
also I checked the /src/env.js and I cannot see anything related to the PORT
I only have .env file under windows 10 with nodejs 20.1X
what I'm doing wrong? how can I expose the server to another port?
also the file react.tsx have this
function getBaseUrl() {
if (typeof window !== "undefined") return window.location.origin;
if (process.env.VERCEL_URL) return
https://${process.env.VERCEL_URL};
return http://localhost:${process.env.PORT ?? 3000};
}

you can add to your package.json:
universal way
"dev:port": "node -e \"process.env.PORT=require('dotenv').config().parsed.PORT;require('next/dist/bin/next')\" dev",
if you are using windows (why? just use wsl)
"dev:port:win": "pwsh -c \"next dev -p ((gc .env)-match'PORT=(.+)'-replace'.*=')\"",
and for linux/macos
"dev:port:unix": "next dev -p $(grep PORT .env | cut -d '=' -f2)",
and if you just want to set port to 3500 and not getting it from .env, you could just change "dev: next dev -p 3500"
