Hi HN, Recently I wasted several hours wrangling my dev environment only to find out that the browser frontend was talking to the wrong version of the backend. This got me thinking--why on earth are we still using simple numbers to describe which process to connect to? Why not use names instead? I thought of all the times a program wouldn't start because of port conflicts. The more I thought about it, the crazier it seemed. Modern operating systems already offer no-conflict ports: if you make your TCP server listen on port 0, the OS assigns you a random available port. But that only solves…

Port Light▲16I make this tool, a self-hosted dashboard, to show which host ports are taken, as a traffic-light grid. All the reason because I'm a home server enthusiast, but have a chaotic and terrible memory. It can aggregate ports from your different hosts and VPS as long as the network is reachable. And it merges three local sources into one grid: host listen tables, Docker API, and Compose files. As a beginner, I am open to everyone's comments, and if there are better similar tools, please tell me about them to help me refer to them for learning, thanks.

We are Rohit & Ayush, we created Portkey this year March to help tackle some challenges we had seen while building apps based on GPT3, 3.5, 4, and the DevOps principles we brought to the scene to help tackle them. We believe, a solid, performant, and reliable gateway lays the foundation to help build the next level of LLM apps. It decreases excessive reliance on any one company and takes the focus back to building instead of spending time fixing the nitty gritties of different providers and making them work together. Features: Blazing fast (9.9x faster) with a tiny footprint (~45kb…
