No, there is no configuration option for this. You have to change the sourcecode and also change it again after a package update.

What you can do is setting up a port mapping with iptables, e.g.

iptables -t nat -I PREROUTING -d <server ip> -p tcp --dport 443 -j DNAT --to-destination <server ip>:8006

@LnxBil,
Thanks for taking time and answering here. It works but my requirement is pretty different.
We are having two proxmox servers [not clustered] running with following addresses
192.168.0.60:8006
192.168.0.13:8006

If we want to access these server from outside the network using port forwarding at router level we were able to connect to only one machine. In order to access second machine i want to change the port address.
But ip tables comes into the picture after this issue.
So please let me know if you guys have any idea.
Once again thanks.



Thanks

Best way to do this is to setup a IPsec or SSL VPN to the internal network, after that you can reach the local IP's secure from anywhere in the world, but others can't.

Other possability is to NAT to local IP's in your WAN router. For example:

NAT 1.1.1.1:8001 to 192.168.0.60:8006 and 1.1.1.1:8002 to 192.168.0.13:8006 etc.

In this case, for security reasons you should setup a firewall on your WAN router that only allows traffic from known IP's. Otherwise the whole world can reach the PVE management interface. If you use a firewall on the PVE nodes also, note that you have to allow traffic from the internal router IP, since you are using NAT.

Easiest setup with a wan component will be a reverse proxy server, so please learn how to do this. It's very simple with Apache and only a few lines of code.
