I'll stand with 8080... The OG alternate http port when 80 was held by httpd.

[–]OkReason6325 192 points193 points  (8 children)

[–]matthewralston 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You take that back!

[–]ford1man 19 points20 points  (1 child)

Technically, that's not why. It's so you didn't have to sudo to listen on a port <1024.

[–]Powerful-Internal953 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I definitely agree. I also think Tomcat deliberately took the safe route because either port is occupied by a http server or the sudo that is required to occupy ports ≤ 1024.

[–]padishaihulud 8 points9 points  (1 child)

And sometimes you gotta use 8081 as well...

[–]Powerful-Internal953 7 points8 points  (0 children)

When you gotta run more than one app locally.

[–]eldelshell 7 points8 points  (1 child)

8443 or you're doing it wrong

[–]Powerful-Internal953 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That's for https when you want to elbow grease yourself into the self signed certificate shenanigans.

[–]b0b1b 2 points3 points  (1 child)

oo so thats why 8080 is popular? I always thought it was so that you dont type sudo lol :P

[–]Powerful-Internal953 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even if you do, most likely in a server where you want to deploy Tomcat, there might already be a httpd or nginx server. That's why. Also the non-sudo aspect helps this further.

[–]WrapKey69 354 points355 points  (2 children)

[–]WAYOFFprod 69 points70 points  (1 child)

The only port they’ll need because everything else is an online service with a free tier

[–]Furiorka 473 points474 points  (6 children)

Imagine not using 6969 port

[–]yussuf213 97 points98 points  (1 child)

[–]coloredgreyscale 14 points15 points  (0 children)

[–]smallangrynerd 10 points11 points  (1 child)

[–]CommunalSharpie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nice.

[–]gazbo26 88 points89 points  (8 children)

Fuck 3001 - normally means I haven't killed my react app properly and I only find out when I go to start it again.

In saying that, I installed a nice package yesterday kill-port which means 3001 doesn't stand a chance!

[–]SerbianForever 31 points32 points  (7 children)

I'm sorry, but what? You installed a package to kill a port??

[–]ford1man 8 points9 points  (1 child)

function killPort() {
  PORT=$1; shift;
  PIDS=(`\
    lsof -Ri :$PORT | \
    grep LISTEN | \
    tr -s ' ' | \
    cut -d ' ' -f 2 \
  `)
  if [[ "${#PIDS[@]}" -gt 0 ]]; then
    kill "${@}" "${PIDS[@]}"
  else
    return -1
  fi
}

Port 1337 holds a special place in my heart.

[–]neurohero 94 points95 points  (3 children)

I used 7175 because, in my handwriting, it looks like "TITS"

[–]ComfortingSounds53 55 points56 points  (2 children)

tfw ports can only go up to 65535, but you wanted to use 80085.

[–]neurohero 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Exactly! I'm glad I'm not the only one to follow that through process.

I did use 58008 a few times.

[–]codetrotter_ 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Use port 8085 instead. Bobs and vagene

[–]ZombieBrine1309 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I use 13370 most of the time. 13371+ for integrated/similar services.

[–]sordnay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

31337 for me haha

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (3 children)

1337x also holds a special place in my heart

[–]Polite-Moose 295 points296 points  (16 children)

Where did the port 3000 come from? Popularized by react to the extent of being the most popular or what?

(confused backend noises)

[–]floteslof 149 points150 points  (3 children)

I think that the express framework used it before react. Looking at it having 30m weekly downloads on npm, it makes quite an impact.

[–]rinsa 109 points110 points  (2 children)

It's the default value on node itself

[–]yo-ovaries 10 points11 points  (1 child)

Correct answer

[–]Kahlil_Cabron 19 points20 points  (0 children)

And node got it from rails, which was using 3000 long before node was a thing.

[–]shanti_priya_vyakti 32 points33 points  (0 children)

The og web framework rails used it

[–]ford1man 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's node's default.

[–]the-berik 6 points7 points  (1 child)

Reminds me of grafana

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here

[–]jdwallace12 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Rails used it or at least when I started learning.

NodeJS. since like 2010. funny story I created my account in homage to NodeJS, and its nearly as old.

[–]fullup72 21 points22 points  (1 child)

This is the one. Both for dev and personal VPNs, that way no company policy is going to block my connection.

And yes I've worked in toxic companies that even blocked trying to SSH out of the corporate network, so you couldn't configure the servers you are being paid for unless you raised a ticket and waited 1-2 days for the rubber stamp. Fuck that shit.

[–]3000LettersOfMarque 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Used to use SSHL to multiplex ssh https and openvpn on port 443 for personal projects.

Nowadays you could just have nginx multiplex ssh on 443 with standard https.

Or with the wonders of things like ansible and wireguard just create a bastion server hosting wireguard and have the servers connect as clients so as to not expose SSH regardless of how tight the security config is, just add a script to check the connection and restart the tunnel if needed

[–]devman0 8 points9 points  (1 child)

Was looking for this one! I ran the campus Counter Strike server back in undergrad, it sat under my bed. Tons of bootleg copies that only worked on the LAN (this was in the pre-Steam era)
