Install cloudron without open ports

[Shlomi]

Hi. I already have a Web server on my external ip. so opening ports 80+443 to cloudron is not possible. how can I install it?

(why is cloudron not using DNS-level validation for SSL so we will not need to open posts if we do not want/need. )

Cloudron does not support installation on a already configured system with running applications.
Its advised to install cloudron on a fresh Ubuntu Focal 20.04 (x64) Server.

Is the website you are running important? If so I would do a backup, setup cloudron on a fresh instance and then after that import the backup to a LDAP app since I don't know what kind of website you are running.

@shlomi I assume you mean the web server is installed on another server (and not on the same one as Cloudron). If that's the case, then it's fine. Otherwise, we don't support running additional applications on the same server as Cloudron.

This is the case already. You have to use one of the programmatic DNS providers (and not manual or wildcard). If you do this, you don't need to open port 80. Please see https://docs.cloudron.io/certificates/#port-80-requirement
