Hi all,

Currently my unRAID management interface is running on ports 80 and 443.

I want to change that because I have a bunch of container and I want to put Trefik in fromt of them.

Any advice before I change the unRAID UI ports in the settings?

Thanks.

if you run reverse proxy on unraid without the need to change the default unraid web management ports.

You run the dockers in docker bridge network mode.

Then using docker network nat you change the dockers web server port to 8080 or 8081 or 60080 etc and for https: 8443 6443 etc...
This will then move the dockers image port to unriad IP port 8080 while the continer may be using.

I personally want reverse proxy dockers like trekik and nginx (npm) set to my eth0,br0,bond0 custom macvlan/ipvlan docker network and be assigned to a static ip
192.168.1.x that way you go to 192.168.1.x : 80 of the docker container...

You don't change the web server ports you fix docker network...

While yes you could go to settings, management access and change unraid's web ui ports. I would highly discourage that...

5000. Can be anything really, doesn't matter.

Any particular reason for this? Are there any known issues that would arise after changing the deault ports?

Reasons are for instance that you like to run a reverse Proxy like NPM which needs to run on 80/443 to get Letsencrypt certifcates (unless you are behind a router that allows port changeing for incoming packets).

Even with such a router in hand, I would favour the "move UNRAID away" solution because it is one less error prone (the router's config) thing in the LAN and I love the KISS (keep it simple and stupid) approach so that I do not have to remember every detail in case I need to change it again in a few years.

For moved unraid there is no known drawback, the Unraid Plugin keeps track of it automatically and links are adjusted accordingly. Just YOU have to remember to address unraid internally on a different port.

So, i would highly encourage it 😆

It had to do with unRAID emhttp server and nginx errors in the past.

Usual a Reverse proxy is given its on lan identity at a static IP ran off unRAID.

Where there no reason to move ports for either unRAID or the reverse proxy docker.

No particular reason... Just no reason to change ports at all...

Multiple reasons to change ports like wanting to run a reverse proxy on Host so it can access all containers without needing Host Access to Custom Networks enabled, and no issues changing it whatsoever.

Ok thank you all for the feedback. In the end I've created my Traefik proxy using a macvlan custom network so no need to change the ports of the management interface...
