Change the default port of 8096

[dcruff 15]

I have set up a new Emby Installation on a new UNRAID box and I need to change the port forwarding because I have a conflict with my old Emby Server on Windows that uses that port.

Can anyone tell me how to change the port to something else, like 8097, to avoid the conflict.  I know how to add another forwarding port on my router to accommodate the change, but I don't know how to do it on the Emby installation on the UNRAID machine.

Hi, you can do this in emby server network settings. If this is our docker package then you may also need to adjust the docker run command.

I need to know how to change it manually, because Emby won't start on a custom port number.

Hi, from the server's data folder, go to config/system.xml and you can edit the config file manually and set it back to defaults.
