Hey

 

I just found out (the hard way if I may add) that we can't edit container ports any more (the option is greyed out). Is there a way to bring this option back apart from removing set ports and adding new ones?

 

To explain in detail...

I'm running multiple Transmission instances (6 of them) and every instance is on it's own port. So I just change container ports and host ports to suit me.

 

Like this:

51417/tcp  192.168.0.250:51417

9095/tcp  192.168.0.250:9095

 

51416/tcp  192.168.0.250:51416

9094/tcp  192.168.0.250:9094

 

And so on. Everything works fine and I just open another port in my firewall and I'm set.

 

The way I used to do it is by selecting the last template of my Transmission docker and just incrementally raise a port by one number on both. But now I have to delete host ports and make whole new ports instead of just changing one number.

 

Thanks for the help and cheers

Works for me...

I have added some screens. The first is the one I get now where I can't edit ports (note the greyed out window).

And the second is the one where I create new ports and delete old ones like I have to do now.

Generally there's no need to edit container ports, only host ports but I guess if you're using transmission then I can see why you might have to.  Have you tried going to settings ==> docker and turning on template authoring mode?

Was just checking that option out and thinking if it would do it for me. I'll check...

 

Edit: Nope. Doesn't work.

Yeah there's no other way at least that I can think off.

 

I guess it's just something I'll have to endure. Thankfully it's only for Transmission and other torrent dockers.

If you really need to change the container port and know what you're doing, within docker settings you have to turn on authoring mode

I did and it's still greyed out.

Apparently, you have to remove that config and add another one with the port you desire. Once you add a configuration, the container value becomes immutable.

Yeah that's what I have been doing now. Shame... I was hoping that there was a simpler way (was hoping for a toggle I've missed somewhere).

 

Thanks guys

I do agree. This makes things harder and should be removed in Authoring Mode, IMHO.

Most of the time you need to change the host port but not the container port.  There have been a lot of support requests from people who change both ports and don't understand why they can't access the container.  This completely prevents that issue.  For the very rare time when you really do want to change the container port, all you have to do is hit the Remove button and then Add a new one. Overall a pretty good solution.
