Port Usage in Dockerized Environment
MANTLE Enterprise services operate inside Docker containers, and the following mappings are utilized:
- FastAPI (backend): Runs internally and serves traffic through Nginx.
- React (frontend): Serves UI over HTTPS (443).
- MongoDB: Runs on
27017 but is strictly an internal connection and not exposed outside the container network.
- Nginx: Handles incoming requests and ensures all traffic is served over HTTPS (443), with HTTP (80) redirected to HTTPS.
