Bring up portainer first as the operator console — before nginx-proxy + TLS are wired. Self-signed UI on tcp/9443, edge-agent tunnel on tcp/8000. Once nginx-proxy lands, ports get commented out and access shifts to https://portainer.wbd-rd.nl/ behind the wildcard cert. The :9443 direct access remains as commented config for emergency ops if nginx is down. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
