Original lines didn't work for me. But api call found in documentation seems to do wanted thing. Cli command I figured out with few tries. Tested with latest LBRY downloaded from AUR.

title: How to change default daemon peer port?
|
|
category: powerusers

If you see the error message `couldn't bind to port 3333`, it is likely that another process is already bound to that port. You will need to change the port before starting the daemon. The port number should not matter as long as it is available and not blocked by your ISP.
|
|
|
|
The most user friendly way to change the port permanently is to append the below line to the `daemon_settings.yml` in the `lbrynet` [directory](/faq/lbry-directories). If it doesn't exist, create a new file named `daemon_settings.yml` and append:
|
|
|
|
tcp_port: 3334
|
|
|
|
Sample daemon_settings.yml (may vary by OS):
|
|
|
|
download_directory: c:\users\lbry
|
|
tcp_port: 3334
|
|
|
|
## Other methods
|
|
To change the port once during runtime, set the LBRY_PEER_PORT env variable. Here's one way to do this:
|
|
|
|
LBRY_TCP_PORT=3334 ./lbrynet-daemon
|
|
|
|
Once the daemon is running, you can change the port permanently by using the following [api](/api) call
|
|
|
|
curl -d'{"method": "settings_set", "params": {"key": "tcp_port", "value": <port-num>}}' http://localhost:5279/
|
|
|
|
|
|
or via cli command
|
|
|
|
lbrynet settings set tcp_port 3334
