 By default will the talk container use port `3478/UDP` and `3478/TCP` for connections. This should be set to something higher than 1024! You can adjust the port by adding e.g. `--env TALK_PORT=3478` to the docker run command of the mastercontainer (but before the last line `ghcr.io/nextcloud-releases/all-in-one:latest`! If it was started already, you will need to stop the mastercontainer, remove it (no data will be lost) and recreate it using the docker run command that you initially used) and adjusting the port to your desired value. Best is to use a port over 1024, so e.g. 3479 to not run into this: https://github.com/nextcloud/all-in-one/discussions/2517
 
 ### How to adjust the upload limit for Nextcloud?
-By default, public uploads to Nextcloud are limited to a max of 16G (logged in users can upload much bigger files using the webinterface or the mobile/desktop clients, since chunking is used in that case). You can adjust the upload limit by providing `--env NEXTCLOUD_UPLOAD_LIMIT=16G` to the docker run command of the mastercontainer (but before the last line `ghcr.io/nextcloud-releases/all-in-one:latest`! If it was started already, you will need to stop the mastercontainer, remove it (no data will be lost) and recreate it using the docker run command that you initially used) and customize the value to your fitting. It must start with a number and end with `G` e.g. `16G`.
