Description

Proposed change

The docs should show developers how to change the public port of the gateway. In both swarm and k8s this is not very complicated. We should warn users about exposing it publically, but for developers testing OpenFaaS they might have port conflicts on their local systems.

The docs should identify use cases and which files would need to be modified.

Context

Several users have asked about this in Slack. Documenting this will simplify the developer experience.

  • Operating System and version (e.g. Linux, Windows, MacOS):

  • Link to your project or a code example to reproduce issue:

Research direction

Start with guide/troubleshooting.md and locate the existing Swarm and Kubernetes gateway deployment documentation. Document the relevant files to edit, explain how developers can change the public port, cover local port-conflict use cases, and warn about public exposure; done means both deployment methods and the security warning are documented.
