• The ip address used to access the application can now be set via nc.js. This is necessary to enable multiple instances of NetCreate to run on the same server. f1aaadb

• The websocket port used to access the application can now be set via nc.js. This is necessary to enable multiple instances of NetCreate to run on the same server. 5047a6c
