When running a headless server with calibre-server, how does one specify that the server only run on 127.0.0.1:8080?

I want to secure the server using basic http authentication with SSL and an apache reverse proxy. I have all this setup, however if you browse to myserverip.com:8080, Calibre loads just fine without going through the apache directory I setup on my server(the apache directory also loads and I want that to be the only way to access the library). I need to bind the calibre server to localhose only so that the only way to access it is through the apache reverse proxy.

I've seen numerous posts about preferences --> tweaks and setting server_listen_on, however that's only through the gui. How do I do this when running a headless server?
