Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/NginxProxyManager/nginx-proxy-manager/issues/1491

I would like to start npm with docker，but IPV6 is not supported in my docker with bridge mode.
IPV6 is only supported in host mode，but the port “80" "443" are occupied.
how can I changer the port in environment?
thanks!

The docker-compose file contains a port section, where there are port pairs (e.g. 80:80) where the first number before the colon is the port used on the host, and the second number is the port inside the container. Just change the first value to use any port you want. But remember, if you do not use standard ports you will have to access your proxied apps including your non-custom port. For example when you use port 3080 instead of 80 you can only access your app at sub.example.com:3080 instead of sub.example.com.

Snipped from example yml file for some context:

version: '3'
services:
  app:
    image: 'jc21/nginx-proxy-manager:latest'
    restart: unless-stopped
    ports:
      - '<http-port>:80'
      - '81:81'
      - '<https-port>:443'
    ...

    ...

this mode,the network mode is bridge，IPV6 is not enable in my docker。
I want to change the network mode "host",
in host mode,

  ports:
      - '<http-port>:80'
      - '81:81'
      - '<https-port>:443'

is not allowed

but I can use

environment:
   xxxx: <http-port>
   yyyy:81
   zzzz:<https-port>
   DB_MYSQL_PORT: 3306

I would like to know what is xxxx yyyy zzzz

Ah, now I understand. It is not possible to change the ports via the environment, as they are / have to be hardcoded in the nginx config files and nginx does not support variables for the listen directive (which specifies the port on which is listened on).

You could try to use the long format to set host mode on the ports and see if that works. It should be something like this:

ports:
      - target: 443
        published: <https port>
        mode: host
        protocol: tcp
      - target: 80
        published: <http port>
        mode: host
        protocol: tcp
