Hi, so I followed the documentation for the NGINX proxy, but every time I try to start it, it still tells me that port 80 is already in use—because, of course, NGINX is already running there. How do I fix this?
Hi @Blue_Gamer48,
If you’re using an external NGINX reverse proxy, you’d have to configure NGINX to proxy requests to the Plane proxy container instead of trying to start another NGINX instance that binds to port 80.
Add a server entry to your existing NGINX configuration pointing to the Plane proxy container, then reload your existing NGINX. You don’t need to run a separate NGINX container.
For the recommended configuration and examples, you can refer to the external reverse proxy documentation.
I followed the documentation for external proxies, but Docker seems to be ignoring the plane Config file and wants to set up another proxy.
Hey @Blue_Gamer48, yes plane needs its own proxy need to be set up but you can change the Plane application ports in the variables file to run Plane on different ports to solve your port conflicting issue.
Once updated, you can either:
- Configure your existing NGINX to point to the Plane proxy container, as described in the documentation shared above, or
- Access Plane directly using the specified ports.
