Default port message about dynamodb-admin HOT 5 CLOSED

DYNAMO_ENDPOINT is the database endpoint to which dynamodb-admin is connecting in this case.

I guess the wording could use some improvement to make it clearer. Maybe it wouldn't have to mention 'http' protocol as that makes people think that it's a server that handles http requests while it's not (dynamodb works over http).

OK, but what I am saying is, when the DYNAMO_ENDPOINT system variable is not defined, the random port is the one being used, not the default 8000).

Again, the port on which dynamodb-admin is running has nothing to do with DYNAMO_ENDPOINT and its port. These are two different ports - one is where dynamodb-admin is exposed on and the other is where dynamodb (database) is running on. Dynamodb-admin doesn't run the database itself so it has to connect to one that user has running already. That is the endpoint to which the first line refers to. The second line is the endpoint on which dynamodb-admin is exposed.

Basically first line is the endpoint of the database and second line is the endpoint of the UI.
And looking at the code, I don't think we have a bug that the endpoint of the database gets random port assigned.

Someone just fixed a bug #48 that made default port of the UI get randomly assigned instead of using 8001. Maybe that is the bug that you meant?

I've updated slightly console output on start to maybe make it more clear.

Otherwise I don't think there is any bug here so closing.
