I need to configure a Steam cache server while avoiding port 80. Lighttpd is already using it. I should look into alternative ports or methods to set up the cache without conflicting with existing services.

It's a lightweight HTTP server running on port 80, which explains why it uses the standard web protocol. If you're not relying on it, you can safely halt and disable it using system tools like systemctl or disable it in your configuration. To confirm, open a browser and visit http://localhost; this should indicate the presence of a web interface. ~Note: You're currently running pihole, which likely manages its DNS settings. https://jdsworld.com/tech-support/pi-hol...-web-port/

Adjust the Lighttpd port in its configuration. Be aware this affects the Pihole web portal's port. Modify it via server.port in /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf
