Technical Details

what runs on :5705

TCP 5705 carries StorageOS's HTTP REST API; it is a management endpoint, not the volume data path. Clients issue HTTP requests to API resources and receive structured responses, and StorageOS command-line and cluster components use the API to manage the platform. The usual endpoint is port 5705; do not assume the connection is encrypted unless TLS has been configured.

security overview

The API can expose management operations for storage nodes and volumes, so restrict access to trusted hosts and cluster networks rather than publishing it to the internet. Where it is served over plain HTTP, credentials and API traffic are not protected in transit; use TLS or a protected network path and apply the platform's authentication controls.
