How to safely change the admin panel port from 2087

POSTED BY: cyber_architect NEW_MEMBER POSTED ON: Jun 23, 2026 CATEGORY: GUIDE

I want to change the admin panel port from 2087 to a custom port to reduce brute-force attempts on my Nginx server block. How do I do this without breaking the API proxy configurations?

You must use the core wrapper command. Run `sudo /usr/bin/booston-core change_panel_port admin 2088`. The binary updates the port directives under '# 1. Admin Panel' in the Nginx config `/etc/nginx/sites-available/phppanel`, updates proxy rules, opens the new port in UFW firewall, and gracefully reloads Nginx.
