• VIDEO_PORT: Port number to host the application. Defaults to 8000
• WEBSITE: Website to add to CORS configuration.
• WORKERS: Number of workers to spin up the uvicorn server. Defaults to 1.

• IP_HOSTED is typically set to True if port forwarding is used to expose the API

• This can also be done by specifying the local IP for the env var VIDEO_HOST manually
