Where do you do this? What file? I am assuming .env but not everyone will know about such files

In this case I was supposing you'd set it as a shell variable (see the example snippet, though I suppose that code snippet wouldn't work on Windows)... but maybe a .env file would be a better idea as it'd persist?

Hello @nathanparekh, I have submitted a patch (#119) to determine the ADDRESS automatically if one is not provided. Makes deployment to Heroku and many other situations easier. The documentation updates you have made here are very good - but if my patch is accepted the updates in this PR will need adjusting. Cheers, |

Updates the readme to show in the instructions how to setup and use the newly required ADDRESS environment variable. As discussed in #116 there might be some better ways to handle this overall, but in the meantime the instructions should be updated so that people aren’t confused.
For quick reference: For Heroku, people currently need to deploy and then go to the app settings and set ADDRESS to their Heroku app url. For Docker, it needs to be set using -e or by modifying the Dockerfile. For Node, set manually.
Closes #117
