How to generate additional ports for plugins
Some plugins, mods, and server tools (e.g. RCON) require their own port to run on. Any 4-digit port between 1024 and 9999 can be used for these. However, there are times when you pick a port that's already in use by another server. This can become inconvenient since you have to reconfigure to use a different port.
You can easily skip the tedious task of selecting a port that may already be in use through the network section of our apollo panel. This allows you to generate up to 5 additional unused ports that you can use.
Access our apollo panel. If you have more than one server, select the server which you want to create additional ports.
On the left sidebar, navigate to Configuration > Network.
On the Network page, click Create allocation. This will generate an unused port for your server.
An unused randomly generated port will be added to the list on the Additional Ports page. That's it! The newly generated port is now ready for you to use for your plugins, mods, etc.
As it is still possible to select a random 4-digit port between 1024 and 9999, a port that's generated may later end up being used by another server if you do not make use of this right away. To avoid this from happening, it is recommended to only generate a port when you intend to use this immediately.
If the port you have previously generated does not work or is already being used by another server, you can easily remove it from your list of Additional Ports by clicking on the remove allocation button.
