Dynamically created Port Ranges

[mmattel]

In dev docs, we define Port Ranges. It seems to me that these ranges are created statically and not via a dynamic build process like it is done via the files in https://github.com/owncloud/ocis/tree/docs/extensions/_includes

Proposal: define the port ranges dynamically as we do eg. with env variables and store the result in the above directory

Note that we could omit the free ports, versioning for existing ports is needed (included since, depreciated since).

@EParzefall FYI

Note that the port range list in general needs an update because:

• idm TBD --> idm has been merged ?
• accounts --> was removed ?
• reva unused --> reva reserved (improve naming)
• photoprism (state: PoC) --> temporary reserved (improve naming)

Note that this is also admin-docs / dev-docs relevant independent if this gets autogenerated in future or not.

@mmattel From my pov, this is not needed.

1. In the future, more and more services will resolve by name and not by static routing. Today this is already done with the ocdav service see

   ocis/extensions/proxy/pkg/config/defaults/defaultconfig.go

   Lines 120 to 141 in 72c2775

   	Endpoint: "/remote.php/",
   	Service: "com.owncloud.web.ocdav",
   	},
   	{
   	Endpoint: "/dav/",
   	Service: "com.owncloud.web.ocdav",
   	},
   	{
   	Endpoint: "/webdav/",
   	Service: "com.owncloud.web.ocdav",
   	},
   	{
   	Endpoint: "/status.php",
   	Service: "com.owncloud.web.ocdav",
   	},
   	{
   	Endpoint: "/index.php/",
   	Service: "com.owncloud.web.ocdav",
   	},
   	{
   	Endpoint: "/apps/",
   	Service: "com.owncloud.web.ocdav",

2. The remaining static ports should not change anymore

The remaining static ports should not change anymore

Should...
It is hard to follow up on changes if applied.
I would like to link to a antora styled table in the same way we did for the extensions but for ports. This would eliminate any manual interaction and avoids the should case, dev`s stay free to develop 😃

[mmattel]

static routing ... already done with the ocdav service...

something relevant for docs?
In case, more work ahaed 😅

Moved to "Infinite Scale Beta phase" on request of @mmattel

[mmattel]

Note, this move is in accordance post a disussion with @dragonchaser in our docs meeting.

[dragonchaser]

@micbar so does this make sense to implement?

[micbar]

The docs need an update, but we do not need a automated mechanism

[wkloucek]

https://owncloud.dev/extensions/port-ranges/ seems to be up to date. I updated it after your discussion in #3827 and just learned about this issue right now

[michl19]

Closed as completed.
