I agree with Neal, I cannot find a definitive list of the standard HTTP auxiliary ports, but lots of websites and open source/commercial web apps/web GUIs use 8080 or 8008 because 80 is already in use or is expected to be in use. I think the same applies to 8000 as well. And lots of small-scale sysadmins run multiple applications on the same server. Cockpit uses 9090 partially for this reason. What I suggest we do is find 2 ports (sequential like Eric suggests) over 1024 that are not officially IANA assigned, and just Google to make sure they are not commonly & unofficially used by any application. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_TCP_and_UDP_port_numbers There is one downside, which is that some organizations' firewalls allow standard HTTP auxiliary ports like 8080 but not arbitrary ports. This may be less common nowadays, and I feel it is outweighed. -Mike _______________________________________________ Pulp-dev mailing list Pulp-dev@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/pulp-dev
