Default Port

[eugen257]

Hi,
please tell me how to change port 9000 to 80. I would like to use this site on a local network and therefore it doesn’t matter to me that it is not safe. I don’t want to create unnecessary services like proxies just to access the site by name only.
Thank you.

Hi,
if you are using our default docker-compose file you would simply have to change the outside port to 80.

    ports:
        - "80:9000"

Hi,

I would like it this:

ports:
- "9000:80"

or better without a port: 80:80

[Kuchenpirat]

with ports 9000:80 mealie would be accessible on port 9000 on your machine (as well as it not working, because port inside of the container is set to 80 instead of 9000). So i guess that is not what you want.

Is there any reason my proposed setup does not meet your requirements?

Jumping on Discord might get you better help. Kuchen has accurately answered the questions you've asked.

To expand on the explanation: mealie is hardcoded inside the container to listen to port 9000, so you cannot change the second number to anything other than 9000 because that's just how mealie works. The first number, which Kuchenpirat has changed to 80 in his solution, is what would be the port that is used on your machine/container host, this you can change to (almost) anything you like.

It turns out that port 9000 cannot be changed. the question is settled

This is documented.

However, if you are running in docker. You do not want to do this. What you actually want to do is map the container port to the host port of your choosing. That is what the others were recommending.

Changing the docker compose mappings to

80:9000

Will map the containers port 9000 to the hosts port 80 (in most configurations). If you are running this directly on the host machine, then you would need to modify the API_PORT env variable.

Then if your dns is setup correctly, you should be able to access it with http://mealie.me/ like you're wanting to.
