+Don't change the `PORT` and `METRICS_PORT` values when running in a Docker Container.
+Instead, export a different port and forward that to the container's ports `3000` and `3001` for the main API port and the metrics port respectively.
 
 ```yml
 # example for docker-compose.yml:
 ports:
   - "5678:3000"
+  - "6789:3001"
 ```
 
 You also have to mount the `.env` file inside the container, if you're using Docker:
