Is there a way to specify the dashboard port in tye.yaml?

What should we add or change to make your life better?

Adding a top level port element to the Tye schema, to allow setting the dashboard port (defaults to 8000) from the tye.yaml configuration file

Why is this important to you?

We’re using Tye extensively at my new workplace, and due to the inability to order the startup of each service (#652), we have three “levels” of tye.yaml files that need to be executed in a specific order:

• dependencies/tye.yaml
• intermediate/tye.yaml
• services/tye,.yaml

In order to run three instances of Tye, I need to pass in a port (i.e. tye run --port 8001) so port conflicts don’t occur during startup. Would be very handy to be able to specify this port value in the tye.yaml rather than having to remember to pass a port value, e.g.

name: dependencies
port: 8001

services:
  - myservice
  ...

Tye will use a random port if 8000 is in use. You’d only need this if you want a stable port. If we did this it would be called dashboardPort
