# spec.ports[0].nodePort: Invalid value: 80: provided port is not in the valid range. The range of valid ports is 30000-32767

**Code:** `provided port is not in the valid range` · **Category:** Kubernetes · **Seen on:** Kubernetes

A NodePort Service asked for a port outside the cluster’s NodePort range (default 30000–32767).

## Meaning

NodePorts are opened on every node and are restricted to a reserved range. To serve on 80/443, use a LoadBalancer Service or an Ingress controller, or (self-managed clusters) change --service-node-port-range.

## Common causes

- nodePort set to 80/443/8080
- Confusing port, targetPort and nodePort fields

## Quick fix

1. Remove nodePort to let Kubernetes pick one
2. Use a value 30000–32767
3. Use LoadBalancer or Ingress for standard ports

## Detailed fix by platform

### YAML

1. 

```bash
spec:
  type: NodePort
  ports:
  - port: 80        # service port
    targetPort: 8080 # container port
    nodePort: 30080  # 30000-32767
```


## How to diagnose

1. **Fields** — port vs targetPort vs nodePort
2. **Range** — API server --service-node-port-range
