Firewall & Port Forwarding


Captain uses:

  • 80 TCP for regular HTTP connections
  • 443 TCP for secure HTTPS connections
  • 3000 TCP for initial Captain Installation (can be blocked once Captain is attached to a domain)
  • 7946 TCP/UDP for Container Network Discovery
  • 4789 TCP/UDP for Container Overlay Network
  • 2377 TCP/UDP for Docker swarm API
  • 996 TCP for secure HTTPS connections specific to Docker Registry

In case of an ubuntu server, run

ufw allow 80,443,3000,996,7946,4789,2377/tcp; ufw allow 7946,4789,2377/udp;

Also, if you are using Port Mapping to allow external connections, for example from your laptop to a MySQL instance on Captain, you will have to add the corresponding port to the exclusion as well.
