Description

This issue is based on #4408

For each service should be possible to configure network for binding a port. As default services binds on 0.0.0.0 (all network interfaces). It is valid for v3, but not for v2. All except the Gateway are binding always on all interfaces, see -Dserver.address=0.0.0.0 \ in all start.sh scripts.

Research direction

Start with issue #4408 and the start.sh scripts containing -Dserver.address=0.0.0.0; trace how each service receives its binding configuration and compare it with the Gateway behavior. Done means each service can select the network interface for its port while retaining the current all-interface default.
