Can't run TCP and UDP on Duplicate port

[jsleep]

I'm a weirdo trying to set up a project to run multiple different game servers all configured easily to run on Azure Container Instance. ACI of course doesn't allow me to run TCP/UDP protocol on the same network port. Is there any way I can configure the image to run on seperate ports?

In the container configuration you should be able to change the port mapping here as an example splitting the ports between protocols:

ports:
      - '7777:7777/udp'
      - '7778:7777/tcp'

ACI does not support port forwarding - I'm thinking of just pivoting to VMs and running docker[compose] directly on those instead, so I should have more control over the network port rules - but just for knowledge before that, it would be helpful if I could potentially just configure these to run on different ports.

If you are running different instances of the server at the same time you will have to run them all at different ports. Server 1 uses 7777, server 2 uses 7778, server 3 uses 7779. Or you need to have different incoming interfaces/public IPs for each to route too separately.

But to your original point if you are bridging them all to the same port on different instances, no you cant do that. or traffic from server 1 could go to server 2. you would have no way to differentiate the traffic to each server. that is why you need different ports.

I'm only running 1 server/instance - this is just for setting up any number of different game servers for different games, but anyone that uses it should only be using 1 server at a time per game. My issue is that Azure Container instances does not allow for port forwarding and reusing the same port for different protocols. I'm going to just configure a VM to do this I guess
