+Enhancement: Runtime Hostname and Port are now configurable
+
+Without any configuration the ocis runtime will start on `localhost:9250` unless specified otherwise. Usage:
+
+- `OCIS_RUNTIME_PORT=6061 bin/ocis server`
+  - overrides the oCIS runtime and starts on port 6061
+- `OCIS_RUNTIME_PORT=6061 bin/ocis list`
+  - lists running extensions for the runtime on `localhost:6061`
+
+All subcommands are updated and expected to work with the following environment variables:
+
+```
+OCIS_RUNTIME_HOST
+OCIS_RUNTIME_PORT
+```
