Outgoing Ports Required for Skate

ProfessorManhattan opened this issue a year ago · comments

Hey, I have outbound firewall rules and would like to add one for Skate. What UDP ports and TCP ports are required for Skate?

nevermind, 2408 appears to be first one that is used (along with a few others that shouldn't matter if 2408 is opened). Upon opening 2408, I am seeing 255.255.255.255:67 --- what is Skate multicasting for?

Hey @ProfessorManhattan Skate is essentially a layer over the Charm KV data store, so all of the config for Charm affects Skate as well. On that note, here is the list of client-side settings you can change.

Our docs for self-hosting Charm should help to clarify the multicasting and port setup for that's happening under the hood https://github.com/charmbracelet/charm/blob/main/docs/self-hosting.md#self-hosting-with-tls

Let me know if that answers your questions :) It's my understanding that the multicasting is to support both HTTP and SSH requests as mentioned in the self-hosting docs.
