Server Settings

Configures the application server’s network settings. Some settings can only be changed when connected via localhost (the server machine itself), since changing the port remotely would immediately break the connection.

Server Port

The TCP port the CueCollab web server listens on. Changing this requires a server restart to take effect — all bookmarks and links to the server must be updated with the new port number. This setting is only editable when connected via localhost.

Ports below 1024 (e.g. 80) may require elevated system privileges to bind.

mDNS (Multicast DNS)

mDNS allows devices on the local network to discover the CueCollab server by hostname (e.g. cuecollab.local) without needing to know the IP address. Particularly useful when the server’s IP changes or when setting up new client devices.

Enable mDNS Responder

Turns the mDNS discovery service on or off. When enabled, other devices on the same network can reach CueCollab at <hostname>.local.

Windows

mDNS resolution on Windows can be unreliable depending on the system configuration and network setup. If <hostname>.local does not resolve consistently, use the server’s IP address directly instead.

mDNS Hostname

The hostname used for mDNS discovery (without .local). Default is typically cuecollab, reachable at cuecollab.local. Change this if you have multiple CueCollab servers on the same network.
