Firewall Basics from Server View
Overview
CloudAIPilot configures Uncomplicated Firewall (UFW) on every server to ensure strict security. By default, all incoming ports are blocked except for essential services.
Default Configuration
When provisioned, a server only allows:
- Port 22: SSH
- Port 80/443: HTTP/HTTPS web traffic
Managing Rules
You do not need to use the terminal to manage firewall rules.
- Navigate to the Server Security tab.
- Scroll to the Firewall (UFW) section.
- Click Add Rule.
- Specify the Port (e.g.,
3306), Protocol (TCPorUDP), and optionally an allowed IP Address.
Autonomous Syncing
When you deploy a new Docker App and map it to port 8080, CloudAIPilot autonomously opens port 8080 in the firewall for you. When you delete the App, it closes the port. This Zero-Ops approach ensures you never leave unused ports exposed to the internet.
