==== Port Allocation ====

The elusive topic of users being able to allocate ports has come up several times on bboard and has yet to be documented. Here's official word from smj:

Its quite simple and should be add to the tutorials. The port number is
|
|
based on your numeric id. You may run a simple server process on
|
|
meta.sdf.org as long as it does not circumvent a membership (for instance,
|
|
running your own webserver to host your own domain name bypassing the VHOST
|
|
membership). IRC bots are fine and servers of reasonable or less foot
|
|
print. For instance if you ran a nickserver or bot you'll likely be fine.
|
|
If you run a minecraft server you'll probably get emails from other users
|
|
asking you to stop hogging CPU and Memory.

**How To:**
|
|
Now that you know the policy, you might ask yourself, how do I get my numeric id?
|
|
Which system provides the correct numeric id? Answer is simple, you run the
|
|
`id` command from any cluster server, and note your uid, this is your numerically
|
|
assigned port number.
|
|
**Example:**
|
|
$ id
|
|
uid=56395(user) gid=500(arpa) groups=500(arpa),600(MetaARPA),900(motd)
|
|
in the above example, note the port number would be 56395. You are now ready to setup
|
|
your server software.
