Is it possible to remove the port in the URL for grafana?

I configured our server to use a custom SSL cert and wanted the URL to display as [https://graphs.domain.com](https://graphs.domain.com) but I have to put in [https://graphs.domain.com:3000](https://graphs.domain.com:3000) (or whatever port)

My grafana.ini is below:

#################################### Server ####################################  
[server]

# Protocol (http or https)

protocol = https

# The ip address to bind to, empty will bind to all interfaces

http\_addr = 10.10.10.10

# The http port to use

;http\_port = 3000

# The public facing domain name used to access grafana from a browser

domain = [https://graphs.domain.com](https://graphs.domain.com)

# Redirect to correct domain if host header does not match domain

# Prevents DNS rebinding attacks

;enforce\_domain = false

# The full public facing url you use in browser, used for redirects and emails

# If you use reverse proxy and sub path specify full url (with sub path)

root\_url = [https://graphs.domain.com](https://graphs.domain.com)

# Log web requests

;router\_logging = false

# the path relative working path

;static\_root\_path = public

# enable gzip

;enable\_gzip = false

# https certs & key file

cert\_file = /etc/grafana/grafana.pem  
cert\_key = /etc/grafana/grafanakey.pem

I had the port specified to 443 but it would not restart the service, kept erroring out

EDIT: Sorry…this was my mistake…forgot about some firewall-cmd rules that were in place. All is good now

Please use a reverse proxy like nginx, haproxy or apache, see [documentation](http://docs.grafana.org/installation/behind_proxy/#running-grafana-behind-a-reverse-proxy).

Hi,  
I have the same issue using a reverse proxy, domain is configured to [whatever.com](http://whatever.com) but grafana still appends the http\_port to URLs…

Please configure the `root_url` to your public facing url, i.e. `http://whatever.com`.

Hi  
Thanks a lot, this seems to do it. However, maybe the doc could be slightly improved because root\_url definition is quite unclear.  
Regards

Feel free to open a PR with your suggested changes.

I find it quite clear, but I may be biased [http://docs.grafana.org/installation/configuration/#root-url](http://docs.grafana.org/installation/configuration/#root-url)
