I am currently working on an app hosting a website on my local network. Does anyone have any advice on how I can find an available port?

Your input is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!

I believe you can make Drogon use any port. Here is more information about ports https://www.grc.com/x/ne.dll?bh0bkyd2

Yes @Eskildd you can make Drogon use any port not used by any application or service on the OS. To see all used ports on your OS is platform specific. I don’t think it’s something Drogon should worry about. There are tools designed specifically for these like net-tools on Debian Linux distros (also available on Ubuntu Jammy Jellyfish)
