Hello,

How do I change the default 9243 (and potentially 12443) port to use 443 on the ECE installation?

Thanks!

Our recommendation is to use a load balancer in front of the proxies so any port mapping can be applied there (that's what we do in our Cloud service)

Alternatively if you are not using a load balancer for some reason you can use `iptables` to redirect

Okay, thanks @Alex_Piggott.

I was hoping to wait to put a load balancer in front of the proxies; but it looks like I'll have to do it now 🙂
