You're right — the BIND_ADDRESS from the install script is never actually passed through to the Docker container. The Dockerfile hardcodes --host 0.0.0.0 for uvicorn, so the setting has no effect.

That said, even if we wired it through, binding to 127.0.0.1 wouldn't really achieve the goal of making BamBuddy inaccessible from the network — the web UI is only one of several services (FTP, MQTT, SSDP) that listen on the network for printer communication.

I'll remove the --bind option from the install script since it's non-functional and misleading. If you need to restrict access to the web UI, a firewall rule or reverse proxy would be the way to go.
