### Problem description
When trying to install imhex as a docker container using
`ghcr.io/werwolv/imhex/imhex-web`, the 9090 port doesn't connect to
anything on the host server. Connections to 9090 work inside the
container.

This is because the `localhost` address is `127.0.0.1` which does not
allow for access from outside.

### Implementation description
Change server binding from `localhost` to `0.0.0.0` to allow connections
from all interfaces, no just `lo`.
