In you app.yml edit :

> expose:
> 
> - “10080:80”
> - “2222:22”

And

> ./launcher rebuild app

Is there a way to so this in the `./discourse-setup` step?  
I’d like to have the alternate port set right from the start rather than having to rebuild.

Don’t run `discourse-setup`, edit `app.yml` directly, run `launcher bootstrap app`.

Copy the sample file

```
sudo cp samples/standalone.yml containers/app.yml

```

open it

```
sudo nano containers/app.yml

```

and change the port on line 23

```
- "8080:80" # http

```

rebuild it

```
./launcher bootstrap app

```

Unfortunately this changed port is not considered, and it navigates me to `http://mercury/finish-installation/confirm-email` instead of `http://mercury:3333/finish-installation/confirm-email`.

Also the `http://mercury:3333/u/activate-account/` page is broken, nothing happens if I click the “Click here to activate your account” button.

Console log for the confirmation page:

We don’t support running Discourse in a non-standard (80/443) port.

Changing the port in the app.yml file is there to allow you to use a reverse proxy that will listen in a standard port and forward traffic internally to the higher port.

That is an advanced setup and we recommend just using the official guide for people who aren’t familiar with server administration.

Running Discourse front end on a custom port is not something we support, you can export it out of docker under a different port and then have the load balancer fix it. BUT having the final place users in production visit be `http://magic.com:8922` is not something we support.

Hello, I have a site on port 80. I moved the discourse site to port 8080, but it redirects to the main site.

What’s this? Running Discourse with an external reverse proxy that controls the web ports is supported, and we even ship with a template that runs Discourse while listening on a unix socket to make this integration seamless.
