## Docker port requirement
The noVNC interface runs on port **6080** by default. Your `docker-compose.yml` must expose this port:
```yaml
ports:
- "8085:8085"
- "6080:6080" # Required for YouTube login
```

You can close the port afterward if you want -- it is only needed during initial login and manual re-authentication.
The noVNC port is configurable via `download.vnc_port` in the config file.
