Change cloudkey port

[smtharrison]

Does anyone know how to change the cloudkey ports??

Hello @smtharrison,

You will need to edit the NGINX ports, sorry for the confusion.

/etc/nginx

I personally haven't tested it. (I'm not in a position to test it sorry)

Got it changed.  Thanks Glen!

FYI for those interested:

you need to edit  /etc/nginx/sites-available/default

change the following from 80 to whatever port you want to use (8082 in my example).

server {
listen 8082 default_server;
listen [::]:8082 default_server;

Then edit /etc/nginx/sites-available/cloudkey-webui

change the following from 80 to whatever for http (8082 in my example)

server {
            listen [::]:8082 ipv6only=off;

then further down, change the following from 443 to whatever for https (843 in my example)

server {
            listen [::]:843 ssl ipv6only=off;

Reboot CloudKey (/sbin/shutdown -r now)

For me this did break the cloudkey login.  Simple fix... see here:

Now I should be able to change the unifi ports.  WIll try that now.

Hey smtharrison,

Have you seen this support document here.... I think this has all the dirt..

https://help.ubnt.com/hc/en-us/articles/204910084-UniFi-Change-Default-Ports-for-Controller-and-UAPs

https://help.ubnt.com/hc/en-us/articles/115000169007-UniFi-Port-Requirements-for-Cloud-Key

If not, I have no idea where to start!

Cheers,

• I know how to change the Unifi ports, but I’m not sure what will happen if I do it on a cloud key.  When you call up a cloud key, it answers on port 80 and 443 where you can select the Unifi controller or cloud key config.  If I change the Unifi management port to port 80 and 443, I would think it would conflict.

[smtharrison]

Poked around, but can't seem to find any cloud key file to change the ports, just the usual unifi system.properties.  @UBNT-MikeD ?

I see what you're saying, yeah. I'm not the guy that knows definitively unfortunately. I'm curious to know the answer...hope someone jumps in.

Hello @smtharrison,

Yup, edit the system.properties file.

I would recommend stopping the UniFi service when you're editing.

service unifi stop

Either remove the # on the other lines or add these.

## device inform
unifi.http.port=8080
## controller UI / API
unifi.https.port=8443
## portal redirect port for HTTP
portal.http.port=8880
## portal redirect port for HTTPs
portal.https.port=8843
## local-bound port for DB server
unifi.db.port=27117
## UDP port used for STUN
unifi.stun.port=3478

Just change the port numbers to your likings, after the changes start the service

service unifi start

Glen, I have done this before running my on controllers, however this is a cloud key.  I do not see how to change the cloud key port (which is  port 80 and 443by default).

Ahh... that gives me something to play with.  Thank you!  Will let you know how it goes

Just curious - why?

I understand when you are installing  on your own server that has conflicting demands for ports. But that isn't an issue with the CK.

[smtharrison]

Because I want unifi mgmt at https://unifi.domain.com

I have a school district I manage a multi site unifi server on (Linux).  I have folks that would never remember to add :8443, and they would always call to remind them the url.  When I changed the unifi mgmt port to 443, those calls pretty much ceased.  Would like to do the same with a cloud key.

limited seccess.  when i chnage the unifi system.properties file from the default ports, i get no response (after starting and stopping services).  CK page answers with the new ports.
