I am using django for a webapp and I'm using docker to deploy it. I need to test it in the container with selenium. I'm using selenium grid for testing. In order to connect with the liveserver on the docker, i need to port forward a specific port, but as far as i read in the django docs, LiveServerTestCase uses port 0, which means random port every time i run the tests. Since --liveserver options is deprecated, is there any other way to set the port of the test server or a smarter way to test it with selenium ?
Thanks in advance !

If anyone is wondering this is how I did it: Override method setUpClass, which starts the thread on which the server run
