Change default port 7500 for Navigator when using 'daml start'

Hi all,

i recently started out with DAML and at the moment I am starting my daml sandbox and daml navigator with ‘daml start’. By default the navigator frontend is then available on port 7500 and I would like to change this port (to for example port 80).

I’ve been trying the following:
daml start --navigator-option --port=80

But this does not work, since it gives an error: Error: Unknown option --port=80
Does anyone has some ideas?

I saw a similar question for ports with the daml ledger navigator, so I hope that someone could help me out with this!

Change default port 4000 when using `daml ledger navigator` Questions

How do I spin up the navigator on a different port instead of the default 4000 when using the daml ledger navigator command?

Hi @nick, welcome to the forum!

In SDK 1.6.0, you can use daml start --navigator-port 80 to accomplish this.

In older SDK versions, you cannot change the Navigator port in daml start. What you can do is to run daml start --start-navigator false and then run daml navigator separately and specify the port that way.
