Anyone who has an idiotproof guide to how I change the default port numbers for FME server docker install into else than 80 or 443? I plan to run this on a linux server with loads of other stuff, including a web server on port 80. Lots of other stuff that breaks if I put FME server on port 80.
I'm fairly certain I'm not the only one with this use case... I am quite baffled that port number this isn't a parameter in the installation script.

Hi @hektopascal,
You can change the default ports for the FME Server Web Services container with an environment variable which controls the external port:
EXTERNALPORTThe default is 443 or 80 depending on the web protocol used (https/http).
Check out this documentation for more details and other useful variables for containers:

Thanks a lot, for anyone else being new to docker, here's the command I used.
EXTERNALPORT=8000
export EXTERNALPORT
WEBPROTOCOL=http
export WEBPROTOCOL
echo $WEBPROTOCOL
echo $EXTERNALPORTAnd then I run docker-compose as sudo
sudo -E docker-compose up -dThe process stops because I can't download from quay.io (where the images are hosted). I had to fiddle around with docker proxy setting to get it to work (this recipie: https://stackoverflow.com/a/28093517 )
docker images now download OK, but it keeps insisting on using port 80 (which is busy for other stuff)

@hektopascal When you disable https for the docker-compose deployment you will need to comment out port 80 in the nginx service definition of your compose file:
ports:
- '${EXTERNALPORT:-443}:8443'
# HTTP to HTTPS port, enable if protocol is https and redirect is requested
# - 80:8080I think that might fix your problem. Let us know how this goes.
After banging my head I finally resolved this: For some reason, my environment variables aren't available when doing the "sudo docker-compose". I must have misunderstood something about the -s and -E flags...
Anyways, logging in as root and then setting the environment variables did the trick.
$ sudo -i
# EXTERNALPORT=8000
# export EXTERNALPORT
# WEBPROTOCOL=http
# export WEBPROTOCOL
# echo $WEBPROTOCOL
# echo $EXTERNALPORT
# cd /wherever/you/put/the/docker-compose-file/
# docker-compose up -dEnter your E-mail address. We'll send you an e-mail with instructions to reset your password.
