Routing & Switching HTTPS Port

I am trying to setup Frigate NVR mobile app. When trying to connect to the server it says it requires https port 8971. I can’t figure out how to change this. It used to be that you could change it in system.properties. But that was when there was a desktop application. I am using a UDM Pro and access it through the web on my Windows PC and don’t have a system.properties file that I can edit. Anyone have any ideas?

You’re trying to change the HTTPS port of Frigate? What does that have to do with Unifi?

Because Frigate won’t work with any port other than 8971. So, the host server connected to my UniFi network needs to also be port 8971 or it won’t communicate with Frigate.

Is this for remote access? In that case you would need to port forward, which you really shouldn't. You're way better off using something like Tailscale: https://www.reddit.com/r/frigate_nvr/comments/1qtaobo/tailscale_setup/

No, I can’t even access it from my phone when on the same network. Frigate won’t communicate with the host server at all due to the port issue.

Why do you need to change the port. What makes you think it will work after changing the port. Are you on the same VLAN with mobile and NVR.
