Can we explicitely define port for Kestrel (dotnet.exe) when hosting in IIS as OutOfProcess.

I use <AspNetCoreHostingModel>OutOfProcess</AspNetCoreHostingModel> within my .NET Core Project File. Then I publish my code to folder and hosted it on IIS.
When I check Process Explorer search for dotnet.exe. I found it always runs on some random port. I checked Environment variable ASPNETCORE_PORT within process explorer.
My question is, is there any way I can fix this port. I don't want IIS or .NET Core application randomly assign port to my kestrel or dotnet.exe.

I found it always runs on some random port. I checked Environment variable ASPNETCORE_PORT within process explorerDoes this problem only occur when you set
OutOfProcess? Usually If no ports are specified, Kestrel binds to http://localhost:5000. -

This is not a problem, this is the expected behavior. As per Microsoft "The module forwards the requests to Kestrel on a random port for the app. The random port isn't 80 or 443.".
My concern is, what if I don't want to use a random port when using OutOfProcess Hosting? Is there any way to achieve this?
