What's the problem 🤔

Since I have problems on an installation to resolve the backend properly, I try to run kitchenowl on the host network.

Unfortunately this seems to have a collision with the existing prometheus exporter on the host, which is also running on :9100. The default value of COLLECT_METRICS does not seem to be respected, explicitly setting COLLECT_METRICS=false does not work either.
