I have installed luigi by pip command and I would like to change the port for the web UI. I tried to find the config file but I couldn't. Do I need to create one?

In spite of the documentation saying otherwise, the port configuration from the config file is not used, at least in some versions or some circumstances
Until this is resolved, you should always use the --port option of luigid:
luigid --port 12345
Also see https://github.com/spotify/luigi/issues/2235
For other configuration options a config file should be used. See https://luigi.readthedocs.io/en/stable/configuration.html
For a configuration global to the host you can create a file:
/etc/luigi/luigi.cfg
Make sure it is readable by the user that runs luigid and luig.
Alternatively a local configuration file that will be recognized is
luigi.cfg
which you would have to create in the current working directory.
If you want a custom config file location you could set the environment variable LUIGI_CONFIG_PATH to the full path of your config file.
