Summary

Type checking and strict objects forbids my ability to start Flood on a unix socket on existing code

Expected Behavior

I should be able to set the port value to a String to start a listen server on a unix socket by passing a string into a server.listen() param via expressjs

Current Behavior

Flood fails to start, demanding a port to be a number value

Possible Solution

Adjust the config type checking to allow strings in the port value, and the host value to be optional.

Steps to Reproduce

start flood with a path argument into --port

Context

I would like to remove the need to run Flood on a unix domain socket behind an nginx reverse proxy, reducing the overhead that is involved with TCP
