I have two servers running on the same public ip (but different ssh ports), one of my servers are running as a "Server" server type and I'd like for the other to be running as a "Database Server" server type, however, trying to install the database server results in the following error message(s):

It would be great if I - and others - could be able to have multiple servers on the same ip as long as the server type and ports don't collide with each other.

If there is any questions, please reach out and I'll try to answer!

I was going to request this too after confirming it was a limitation. It is a waste of limited IPv4 addresses if servers are behind a load balancer or otherwise on an internal network.

I was also going to try IPv6 as a workaround (not sure if that would work), just so I didn't have to use up my IPv4 addresses.  My ultimate preference would be if Ploi could be configured to use VPN to access everything from my private network side.

This should be supported now, can you guys please test this?

These are the ports we don't allow by default because of reserved services:

                    21, // ftp
                    23, // telnet
                    25, // smtp
                    53, // dns
                    67, // dhcp
                    80, //webserver
                    143, // imap
                    443, // ssl
                    465, // smtp
                    587, // smtp
