Where is the config file that holds the port mapping?

[bigalpha 1]

I was messing around trying to get my server accessible from a private domain.  I changed the ports on my server to match this post.  I'm now unable to access it via the LAN IP or the remote IP.  These were working just fine before I touched things.  

I'm wondering how to manually update this via command line since I can't access the GUI anymore.  Previous paths I came across while searching didn't pan out.

The only complicating factor is that I have the server installed in an LXC in proxmox. Any help would be appreciated.

You can use a text editor to manually edit the following lines in: /Emby-Server/programdata/config/system.xml

  <HttpServerPortNumber>8096</HttpServerPortNumber>
  <HttpsPortNumber>8920</HttpsPortNumber>

Apologies if I'm missing something obvious, but I'm a linux novice.

I tried this command in both the host and container, and the file did not exist in either location.

nano /Emby-Server/programdata/config/system.xml

Sorry that was an example. I don't have a linux system so am unsure of the correct full path.

Typically it would be something like /opt/emby-server/.../.../.../ -- but I have no experience with LXC on Proxmox

Oh gotcha.  Do you know if the config always located in system.xml?

Yes, that is the file you want ...the full path to it may be different but it should always be in '.../programdata/config/system.xml' as per my original comment

Thanks for the lead. I'll poke around some more and see if I can find it!

Quick follow-up...

I was able to find the file and revert the changes and access my server again!  For others, I found it in /var/lib/emby/config/system.xml in the LXC.

Thanks for the help!
