docker-proxy is bound to port 443 on Discourse One-Click install but I want to use it for Traefik/Let's Encrypt

I made a Droplet with the Discourse One-Click application installer. Everything's fine but when I want to install Let's Encrypt via Traefik, it appears that port 443 is already bound to docker-proxy

traefik docker-compose up:

I believe that the Discourse One-Click Install is the cause because there was a similar issue found here:

https://meta.discourse.org/t/the-connection-has-timed-out/77930/8

So what should I do so that I can use port 443? I do not want to start from scratch.

I don't know if you found the solution to this or even started from scratch, but I believe gave with the solution to a similar issue I had with bitwarden being bound to port 80/443 when trying to install Traefik. I solved it by changing the port exposed on the docker-compose file for the container that had been bound to port 443.

In your case, being a pre-installed app there must be some variables on a volume for persistent data that can be changed. Then rebuild with the launcher script provided by Discourse. Something around the lines of: launcher rebuild.

Hope this helps!
