Change back-end port from 5000

1

What is the problem?
I am running Octopi behind my Synology NAS' reverse proxy. The webcam stream works perfectly from outside my network. But the Web UI part gets redirected to the Synology's UI because the NAS also uses port 5000.

Is there a way to change this back-end port?

What did you already try to solve it?
Changed the back-end port to 5010 but this breaks the Octopi's UI.

Additional information about your setup (OctoPrint version, OctoPi version, printer, firmware, octoprint.log, serial.log or output on terminal tab, ...)

OctoPrint version : 1.3.10

Searching the OctoPrint repository for 5000, I see this file which appears to be how the OctoPrint service is controlled.

haproxy is the translator from the default port 80 to whatever-it-is that OctoPrint's running on. So yes, you need to adjust that file which you did. But then you also need to make sure that OctoPrint is running on the port where you're redirecting it to.

Thank you and I apologize for the delay in response.

In the end, I only had to change the back-end port like so and it worked.

Thank you for your time!
