On my development machine, I use port 10524. So I start my server this way :

rails s -p 10524

Is there a way to change the default port to 10524 so I wouldn't have to append the port each time I start the server?

Solution for Rails 2.3 - script/server:

#!/usr/bin/env ruby
require 'rack/handler'
module Rack::Handler
  class << WEBrick
    alias_method :old_run, :run
  end

  class WEBrick
    def self.run(app, options={})
      options[:Port] = 3010 if options[:Port] == 3000
      old_run(app, options)
    end
  end
end

require File.dirname(__FILE__) + '/../config/boot'
require 'commands/server'

If you're using puma (I'm using this on Rails 6+):

To change default port for all environments:

The "{3000}" part sets the default port if undefined in ENV.

~/config/puma.rb

change:
    port ENV.fetch('PORT') { 3000 }
for:
    port ENV.fetch('PORT') { 10524 }

To define it depending on the environment, using Figaro gem for credentials/environment variable:

~/application.yml
local_db_username: your_user_name
​local_db_password: your_password
PORT: 10524

You can adapt this to you own environment variable manager.
