Deploy magic to existing nginx server

[kikiimdev]

Hi, i'am trying to deploy Magic to my existing nginx server,
On docker-compose.yaml file, the used port for forwarding is 80 and 443

On my server port 80 and 443 is already used by Nginx, is there a way to solve this problem?
I'am kinda new on docker tho

You can try to edit the ports, but even if you succeed you'd end up with "funny URLs" where you'd have to use an alternative port to access the thing. However, the docker-compose.yml file also automatically creates a LetsEncrypt SSL certificate for you, which assumes port 80 to verify ownership of the site. Implying even if you succeed editing the port, you'd probably not get SSL working, and even if you get SSL working, you'd end up with "sub-optimal" URLs ...

It might be you could configure a reverse proxy for the Host name you want to use for Magic, and forward this into an internal port you could expose in the docker-compose.yml file. The latter would probably be your best solution, as in using your existing nGinx server, add a location to it, set it up as a reverse proxy, etc. As to the exact mechanics of this, I'm not sure - Google ...?
