I want to change the webserver port from 8000 to something else. How can I do that?

To change the webserver port from 8000 to something else, you can modify the
API_URL
in your
.env
file and restart Airbyte. If you are using
abctl
to install Airbyte, you can specify a different port by passing the
--port
flag to the
local install
command. For example,
abctl local install --port 6598
. Here are the steps: 1. Open your
.env
file and find the
API_URL
line. 2. Change the port number in the
API_URL
to your desired port. 3. Save the
.env
file. 4. Restart Airbyte. If you are using `abctl`: 1. Run the
abctl local install --port <your-desired-port>
command. Please ensure that the security group configured for your instance allows traffic in on the port that you deploy Airbyte on.

I have webapp_url and not api_url in .env file.
@kapa.ai - I have webapp_url and not api_url in .env file.

The
WEBAPP_URL
environment variable is used to define the URL where the Airbyte Webapp is hosted. This includes the port and is used by Airbyte services. If you want to change the Airbyte instance URL provided in notifications, you can set this variable to your custom domain name. On the other hand,
API_URL
is another environment variable that is used in the configuration of Airbyte. It is not present as an environment variable but is required for webapp configuration. If you only have
WEBAPP_URL
in your
.env
file and not
API_URL
, you might need to add
API_URL
depending on your specific use case or configuration. Here is an example of how these variables can be declared in the
.env
file:
Copy code
bash WEBAPP_URL=<http://localhost:8000/> API_URL=/api/v1/

@kapa.ai I have added api_url also as /api/v1 and webapp_url as http://localhost:9001. And after restart also its not starting at 9001 port.

The
WEBAPP_URL
and
API_URL
environment variables are used to define the URLs where the Airbyte Webapp and API are hosted, respectively. However, changing these values in the
.env
file does not change the ports on which these services are running. These variables are used for routing and configuration purposes within the application, not for changing the actual ports the services listen on. If you want to change the port on which the Airbyte web server is running, you would typically need to modify the Docker Compose setup or the specific service configuration, not the
.env
file. For example, in a Docker Compose setup, you would need to change the port mapping for the
airbyte-webapp
service in the
docker-compose.yaml
file. However, based on the provided knowledge sources, there isn't a specific guide or instruction on how to change the web server's port in Airbyte. It's recommended to check the official Airbyte documentation or reach out to the Airbyte community for further assistance.

@kapa.ai I want to run airbyte on 9001 server. What all files I need to change?

To change the port on which Airbyte runs, you would need to modify the Docker Compose setup. Specifically, you would need to change the port mapping for the
airbyte-server
and
airbyte-webapp
services in the
docker-compose.yaml
file. Here's an example of what you might need to change:
Copy code
yaml services:   airbyte-server:     ports:       - 9001:8001   airbyte-webapp:     ports:       - 9001:80
In this example, the
airbyte-server
service, which by default listens on port 8001, is mapped to port 9001 on your host machine. Similarly, the
airbyte-webapp
service, which by default listens on port 80, is also mapped to port 9001 on your host machine. Please note that mapping two services to the same host port as shown in the example above will likely cause a port conflict. You would typically assign a unique host port to each service. After making these changes, you would need to restart your Airbyte deployment for the changes to take effect. Please note that the exact changes may vary depending on your specific setup and configuration. Always refer to the official Airbyte documentation and your specific deployment configuration for the most accurate information.

@kapa.ai I have changed ports inside airbyte-proxy of docker-compose file. And changed .env file. Other than that I am not able to find any config where I will need to make a change.

If you have already updated the port mappings in the
docker-compose.yaml
file and updated the
.env
file, you have covered the main areas where port configurations are specified for Airbyte. Here's a quick recap of the changes you need to make: 1. Update the
docker-compose.yaml
file: Change the port mapping for the
airbyte-server
and
airbyte-webapp
services to the desired port.
Copy code
yaml services:   airbyte-server:     ports:       - 9001:8001   airbyte-webapp:     ports:       - 9001:80
2. Update the
.env
file: Change the
API_URL
and
WEBAPP_URL
environment variables to reflect the new port.
Copy code
bash API_URL=<http://localhost:9001/api/v1/> WEBAPP_URL=<http://localhost:9001/>
After making these changes, you should restart your Airbyte deployment for the changes to take effect. If you've done all of this and are still facing issues, it's possible that there might be other factors at play, such as firewall rules, network settings, or other services running on the same port. You might want to check these aspects as well.

@kapa.ai I want to run 3 instances of airbyte on the same linux server, how can I do it.
u

Running multiple instances of Airbyte on the same server can be challenging due to potential conflicts with ports, container names, and other resources. However, it's possible to deploy multiple instances of Airbyte on the same or multiple clusters using Restack as mentioned in the [Airbyte documentation](https://docs.airbyte.com/deploying-airbyte/on-restack#deploy-multiple-instances-of-airbyte). Here are the general steps you would need to follow: 1. Clone the Airbyte repository for each instance: You would need to clone the Airbyte repository into separate directories for each instance you want to run.
Copy code
bash # clone Airbyte from GitHub into a new directory for instance 1 git clone --depth=1 <https://github.com/airbytehq/airbyte.git> airbyte1  # clone Airbyte from GitHub into a new directory for instance 2 git clone --depth=1 <https://github.com/airbytehq/airbyte.git> airbyte2  # clone Airbyte from GitHub into a new directory for instance 3 git clone --depth=1 <https://github.com/airbytehq/airbyte.git> airbyte3
2. Modify the Docker Compose files: For each instance, you would need to modify the
docker-compose.yaml
file to use different ports for each service to avoid conflicts. For example, you could run the first instance on the default ports, the second instance on ports 9001-9003, and the third instance on ports 9004-9006. 3. Start each instance: Navigate to each directory and start each instance using the
./run-ab-platform.sh
script.
Copy code
bash # start instance 1 cd airbyte1 ./run-ab-platform.sh  # start instance 2 cd ../airbyte2 ./run-ab-platform.sh  # start instance 3 cd ../airbyte3 ./run-ab-platform.sh
Please note that this is a general guide and the exact steps may vary depending on your specific setup and configuration. Always refer to the official Airbyte documentation and your specific deployment configuration for the most accurate information. Also, it's worth noting that a user on the Airbyte GitHub discussions reported issues when trying to run two separate Airbyte Docker instances on one server. The user reported that changing container names caused some internal code of the application to stop working and two containers kept restarting. As of the time of the discussion, there was no official answer or solution provided by the Airbyte team. You can follow the discussion [here](https://github.com/airbytehq/airbyte/discussions/32809) for updates.
