Subject of the issue

I assumed the comments in .env.template mean default values (where clearly interpretable as such). But at least for ROCKET_ADDRESS this seems to be incorrect. The file states:

# ROCKET_ADDRESS=0.0.0.0

The actual listen address:

root@vaultwarden:~# netstat -tulpen
Active Internet connections (only servers)
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address           Foreign Address         State       User       Inode      PID/Program name
tcp        0      0 127.0.0.1:8000          0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      113        52998745   70470/vaultwarden

After setting the option explicitly it listens as expected. Either .env.template is wrong or the rocket default listen is wrong.

Deployment environment

vaultwarden version: 1.27.0

Install method: built from source
Clients used: none
Reverse proxy and version: none

Steps to reproduce

Don't set ROCKET_ADDRESS
Start vaultwarden
Check listen address

Expected behaviour

Listening on 0.0.0.0

Actual behaviour

Listening on 127.0.0.1
