Changing Emby Ports

[ianmcleish 4]

This is going to be long winded!

I initially ran Jellyfin on the default port 8096 using Tailscale to allow remmote clients to connect, which worked until the firesticks that were using it became unsupported by tailscale. So then I found Emby. As I have CGNAT through starlink, I have a remote Virtual server which runs swag and does the connection stuff here back to my house. As I didn't want to mess up t he remote users (all of which I would need to reconfigure) - they dont have a clue, I set up the Binhex Emby container (on unraid) to use port 8098. And all is working at the moment.

But, Binhex-Emby doesn't seem to allow hardware transcoding for some reason, so I bit the bullet and also now have EmbyServer by Emby installed and running on the same computer. It took a while to get it all set up the same as the binhex version, but now I am ready to go "live" with the new version. But the EmbyServer is installed at the default ports, which became free after I got rid of Jellyfin.

So EmbyServer is on 8096 and it works. I tried to Change the binhex Emby to port 8097 to free up 8098- I reckon it would be easier to match the docker rather than changing all the remote clients, but if I try to change the binhex emby to 8097 I cannot get into it - I had to go into the system.xml file in appdata /config to change the ports back to 8098 to get back into the webgui.

I would rather not delete the working Emby container until I am sure that the new one is working correctly, but they cannot use the same ports in the docker container.

My Binhex-emby container setup has both the container and the host port set to 8098. The is no way to change the container port that I can see. The EmbyServer container is set to a container port of 8096 and host port 8096, and I could change the host value, but not the container value, IF I need to?

I am reckoning that the values set in the WebGui /networking is what is stored in the system.xml file? But I have gotten myself so confused- If I want to change EmbyServer to be on port 8098, do I change it in the docker template, the webgui or both? And I cannot remember how I managed to get the BinHex one installed with both ports being the same on 8098 in the docker template?

I have broken the old one so many times, getting the error that the website refused to connect that I am scared to try to change the wanted EmbyServer one until I kinda know what I should be doing.

To change the port is it in the gui, the docker template or both?

 

Any suggestions I would be very grateful, Thanks!

Unraid 7, Emby 4.8.10.0 on both the containers.

Change the outside port of the docker, and leave the inside port as is.

Thanks, I will try that in the old one firstly- I guess I was changing too many!
