VPS
Firewall
Firewall guidance for SkyPort-managed VPS hosts.
SkyPort does not currently automate firewall rules. Treat firewall management as an operator task that sits around SkyPort, not inside it.
What To Secure
- the SkyPort API port
- SSH access to the VPS
- any application ports exposed through Caddy or Docker
Common Linux Examples
terminal
sudo ufw allow 22/tcp
sudo ufw allow 8080/tcp
sudo ufw status
WSL And Local Development
If you are running SkyPort locally or in WSL, keep in mind that the firewall posture is determined by the host OS and your Docker/Desktop networking setup.
Documentation Guidance
- explain which ports are required by the actual deployment
- explain the effect of exposing the SkyPort web UI publicly
- do not imply the platform opens or closes firewall rules automatically
Next
- Read SSH Management.
- Read Production Setup.
