This document outlines commonly reserved ports on GNU/Linux-based virtual servers (VPS) used in the jointhefreeworld project and wolk-jjba VPS config. Understanding these is important because:
- They relate to system security.
- Services may require specific ports to function properly.
- When developing services you can be aware which ports are available for use
