Looking at the new, improved instructions for Debian/Ubuntu obfs4 bridges, I am confused by the talk about a fixed obfs4 bridge port. The line to do this is commented out. Does that mean it is optional to give obfs4 a fixed port? If it were a random port, however, I'd need a lot of open ports on my firewall...
TIA,

We therefore want to encourage volunteers to set up new obfs4 bridges to help censored users. Over the last few weeks, we have been improving our obfs4 setup guide which walks you through the process: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/doc/PluggableTransports/obfs4p...
We created a docker image for those who prefer containers over manual installation. First, fetch the docker image:
docker pull phwinter/obfs4-bridge:0.1
Now, you have two options to start the container:
You can use the following script to run the container: https://dip.torproject.org/anti-censorship/docker-obfs4-bridge/raw/0fa15ff0e... It automatically finds an OR port and obfs4 port for you.
If you would rather provide your own ports, run the following command:
OR_PORT=XXX PT_PORT=YYY EMAIL=admin@example.com; \ docker run -d \ -e "OR_PORT=$OR_PORT" -e "PT_PORT=$PT_PORT" -e "EMAIL=$EMAIL" \ -p "$OR_PORT":"$OR_PORT" -p "$PT_PORT":"$PT_PORT" \ phwinter/obfs4-bridge:0.1
Replace XXX with your OR port, YYY with your obfs4 port, and admin@example.com with your email address. Don't forget the semicolon after the enrivonment variables.
Your container should now be bootstrapping your new obfs4 Tor bridge.
