Change traefik port

[wooden hornet]

Hi, I currently have Appwrite running on the default port 443. However, now I want to expose NPM on port 443, which will forward traffic to the Appwrite Traefik.
Is it okay to change the port in the Appwrite docker-compose file from port 443 to another port, or will the upgrade script change the Traefik port back to 443? Or do I need to reinstall Appwrite entirely and define the port on which I want to have Appwrite currently during the installation?

I think changing the env var should do the job

Uh, i looked and tried to find it in .env, but haven't find any variable which defines port 443

check docker-compose.yml

https://medium.com/@stnguyen90/how-to-run-appwrite-behind-nginx-19348ed34243 You could try to follow this guide

Yeah I'm following this guide, but right in the first step Steven mentions installing appwrite using non-standard ports.

Yes, i can edit ports in docker-compose.yml, but according to my knowledge, the upgrade script would remove the tewaks i did.

Upgrade doesn't change your ports though. Infact, any upgrade using docker pull will override your misc. tweaks in appwrite if I am not wrong.

So i can change this piece of configuration:

services:
  traefik:
    some_configuration
    command:
      some_configuration
      - --entrypoints.appwrite_web.address=:80
      - --entrypoints.appwrite_websecure.address=:443
    ports:
      - 80:80
      - 443:443

To this configuration?

services:
  traefik:
    some_configuration
    command:
      some_configuration
      - --entrypoints.appwrite_web.address=:80
      - --entrypoints.appwrite_websecure.address=:443
    ports:
      - 8080:80
      - 8443:443

[distant plume]

that should work.
if there's nginx involved, there might be additional steps for forwarding. Its been a while since I've touched any nginx conf. so the memory is hazzy.

Ok, thank you for your help!
Could you also elaborate a bit more on what does appwrite upgrade script change/remove or is there a link i could read about this topic?

the upgrade command wipes your compose file and then creates a new one using this template: https://github.com/appwrite/appwrite/blob/main/app/views/install/compose.phtml. The http and https ports will be extracted from your old compose file and used as the default when you're asked what ports you want to use
