.env Port variables not named PORT are not being used

[ctsstc]

If I use PORT in .env like so it will use the port defined in the environment file.

PORT=7777

If I try to use something like DB_PORT it will default to 5000

DB_PORT=7777

I've looked through previous issues and I cannot tell if this is expected functionality or not. If it is, some added documentation about it would be helpful. Previously closed issues made it sound like the first example I gave should not work, yet it does.

If it's going to automatically assign the ports is there a way for me to access those in my scripts given that they're not matching what I threw into the .env file. (I guess I could pass it in as an argument to the script if supported, assume the same variable will contain the same port per line and not increment per read)

The above was run on Windows machine. I just ran it on my Mac and the environment variables are working fine as expected.
