Reverse Proxy, Server Port set on FMS17

[pfroelicher]

Hi

I have for years run macOS Server (mainly for OD and Filesharing and Websites) and Filemaker Server. 

This has NOT been supported by Filemaker since Web Direct, FMS13?.. but one could make it work using Reverse Proxy and setting other ports than 80 and 443 during the Deploy Server Setup. There is an exellent turorial on precursor.ca ‘s page called Reverse Proxy. 

Now.. In FMS17 there is no way to set the port, there IS no deployment step anymore, there ... anyway..they changed it a lot the whole setup and Apache use. 

Does anyone know how to make this work..? We have run this setup for eight years now and I am just not ready to buy another mini just for Filemaker Server. 

I tested arround with AWS, moving all to the cloud, substituting Open Directory with AWS or Active Directory... but whenever I look at AWS it cost 50 USD/month.. which is way to much for our 5 people shop... 

I would really like to make this work for another year or so, until we move to the cloud...
