Force port 443 instead of 8006

[deranjer]

Is there an easy way to get proxmox to force a 443 connection all of the way through and not redirect to port 8006?

ssh to your host, and edit /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/pve.conf and change <VirtualHost *:8006> by <VirtualHost *:443>

this will not work for a cluster setup.

i get this error with firefox: ssl_error_rx_record_too_long
single machine, no cluster etc.

is there a reason why you use now 8006 and not 443 anymore?

just guess!

"pseudo" security?

 

[tom]

no, try again.

Ok, I will try to shorten this thread. Port 443 is used by web severs, so many user complained about that.

But you can simply use iptables to do a port redirect if you want to use another port.

thx
i still don't get it why somebody complains about a standard-port used for the "WEB-ui", but ok, maybe i don't see the big picture

Proxmox VE is already 443 check your /etc/apache2/sites-available/pve-redirect.conf config file.
Its redirect port 443 and port 80 to port 8006.

For those of you advocating changing my pve-redirect or pve.conf (first off, I don't think editing pve.conf should not work period as there is a redirect), have any of you actually tried that? Because I don't think it works, I delete the re-direct file and edit pve.conf to 443 and still doesn't work. I can change the redirect to redirect back to 443, still nothing.

[warn] _default_ VirtualHost overlap on port 443, the first has precedence

I will look into IPtables port redirect.

Yes, but you can simply disable that feature (and it is only a redirect).

The correct procedure is:

1- delete /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/pve-redirect.conf
2- edit /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/pve.conf and change <VirtualHost *:8006> to <VirtualHost *:443>
3- /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
