<aside> ℹ️ If you're looking for more information on how to allocate specific ports to certain products/orders on WHMCS, check this guide: Port Allocation (Dedicated IPs)
</aside>
To deploy game servers, you need to allocate IP and port combinations to your nodes; we refer to these as "allocations". Adding allocations can be done on the Admin Panel → Management → Nodes → { your node } → Allocations.
Type hostname -I | awk '{print $1}'
to find the IP to be used for the allocation. Alternatively, you can type ip addr | grep "inet "
to see all your available interfaces and IP addresses. Do not use 127.0.0.1 for allocations, as it would make the server unavailable to anyone. An exception is Minecraft servers behind a proxy.
You can allocate entire blocks and port ranges at the same time.
You can add as many IPs as you want and as many port ranges as you want.
Alternatively, you can enter a list of predefined ports and IPs in a comma-separated format.
You can assign multiple allocations to a game server if it needs to use multiple ports. By default, game servers can only use the IPs and ports they're allocated.
Host Networking allows the game server to use any other ports on the IP without needing the ports allocated to the game server specifically. More info on that is here.
To change an allocation of existing server, you have to navigate to the Admin Panel → Management → Servers → { Your Server } → Build Configuration.
In the Allocation Management section, you would add the new allocations and save. After that, you can change the primary allocation and remove the old ones.
