Ports & Endpoints

Required inbound ports

PortProtocolPurpose
30000TCPQuickStack Web UI
80TCPHTTP ingress (Traefik)
443TCPHTTPS ingress (Traefik)
6443TCPKubernetes API — required between nodes in a multi-node cluster

Open these on your firewall/security group. For single-node installations, port 6443 only needs to be reachable from future worker nodes.

QuickStack UI

http://<server-ip>:30000

After setting up a domain for the QuickStack UI (in Settings), you can access it via that domain instead.

Webhook URL pattern

When you enable webhook deployments on an app, the generated URL follows this pattern:

https://<quickstack-domain-or-ip>/api/v1/webhook/deploy?id=<webhook-id>
  • <quickstack-domain-or-ip> — the domain or IP you use to access the QuickStack UI (must be reachable from your Git provider or CI system)
  • <webhook-id> — unique ID generated per app; shown in the app's Overview tab after enabling webhooks

The endpoint accepts any HTTP POST request. No authentication beyond the secret ID is used.

Internal service hostnames

Apps in the same QuickStack project communicate using internal Kubernetes service hostnames:

svc-<app-id>

The exact hostname is shown in the app's Domains tab → Internal Hostnames section.

Example connection strings:

postgres://user:pass@svc-app-abc123:5432/mydb
redis://svc-app-def456:6379
http://svc-app-ghi789:3000

Internal hostnames are only routable within the same project. They are not accessible from outside QuickStack.

QuickStack.me domain pattern

When using the built-in quickstack.me domain:

https://<prefix>.<hex-ip>.quickstack.me

Where <hex-ip> is your server's public IPv4 address converted to 8-character hex. For example, 1.2.3.401020304.

Let's Encrypt

QuickStack uses Let's Encrypt to provision TLS certificates for custom domains and quickstack.me subdomains. To enable automatic certificate provisioning, set an email address in SettingsQuickStack ServerNetworking / Traefik.

Let's Encrypt rate limits: 50 certificates per registered domain per week. See LE docs if you hit limits.
