Since Cloud9 workspaces only expose port 8080, you can modify the mongo-express config (https://github.com/andzdroid/mongo-express/blob/master/config.default.js) to set the port to 8080 within the following section:

site: {
  //baseUrl: the URL that mongo express will be located at
  //Remember to add the forward slash at the end!
  baseUrl: '/',
  port: 8081, // <<--- 8080
  cookieSecret: 'cookiesecret',
  sessionSecret: 'sessionsecret',
  cookieKeyName: 'mongo-express'
},

You should find the config.default.js within your workspace. Just copy/rename it to config.js and change the port from 8081 to 8080 and you should be all set.

Hope this helps.
