Hi there,

I'm trying to run the swagger-editor docker image along with the swagger-ui image in a kubernetes pod.

I've upgraded the image from 4.x to 5.x and swagger editor was not reachable anymore.

With 5.x the swagger-ui container can no longer be configured with PORT and BASE_URL environment variables. The nginx entrypoint is now overwritten. The EXPOSE 8080 is invalid because nginx defaults to port 80.

Is this on purpose ?
