01 Security

Is port 8102 dangerous?

We have no specific security note for port 8102. Its risk depends on the program actually listening on it. General advice for databases & caches services:

  • Bind the service to localhost or a private network, never to a public address.
  • Enable authentication, use per-application accounts and require TLS.
  • Watch for exposed Docker ports: publish them on 127.0.0.1 only.
