What ports are opened by the EVVR Container?

Updated over 4 months ago

Unlike EdgeVis hardware encoders, an EVVR Container does not include a firewall. This is because, as a container within a host machine, you are required to install, update and secure your container's operating system.

As part of securing your host platform, you may choose to operate a firewall. To assist, the following table outlines the ports your container may use:
