How to disable Web UI fully?

shadesofcyber

Is this possible by now? I just need the services and ports necessary for email transfer to run on my machine, I really do not want the Web UI (including ALL routes) to be active as it needs to use a port for http and https, as I already merged my inboxes with Outlook by now anyway.

What I did so far: I used the “HTTP(S)_BINDING=” option in the mailcow.conf file and set it to 127.0.0.1 so it is only accessible locally, not externally.

Why not using a proper reverse proxy?

esackbauer I use nginx as a reverse proxy for my web app!
However, I do not know how to use it for the mailcow web UI. I mean, we are forced to let the whole web UI chill on some http and https port, right? (lets just say port 1234 and 2345 for example, since 80 and 443 are being used by our nginx web server for our web app)
So what is the reverse proxy gonna do with port 1234 and 2345 in that case?

You really should learn what a reverse proxy does and what SNI (server name indication) is and how it works on reverse proxies.
The mailcow relevant part to make it work with nginx acting as reverse proxy can be found here:
