Managing Open Ports
A guide to exposing ports from your Foundry instances
Replace <port_number> with the desired port number you want to forward to your instance's public IP. This will start a process that maintains the open port. You may keep it running in the background with nohup, and close the port with the following command:
Again, replace <port_number> with the corresponding port number whose forwarding you want to stop.
If you want to make sure the port forwarding is kept running in the background persistently even after a system reboot, or in case the process fails in the background due to network blips, you can create a systemd service for it.
Open a new service file using a text editor (like nano):
Add the following content into the service file:
Again, replace <port_number> with the actual port you want to keep forwarded persistently.
Now, the foundrypf script will run as a service, and the specified port will be kept forwarded persistently. Adjust the <port_number> and service file name if you wish to set up multiple such services for different ports.
Note that lower-number ports are currently not supported on foundrypf. We recommend running applications on higher-number ports.
