crissty opened a new issue #2306: Listening ports in a standalone configuration
URL: https://github.com/apache/couchdb/issues/2306
 
 
   ## Description
   After a fresh installation of CocuhDB 2.3 and configured as standalone (no cluster).
   I can see the following listener ports: 5984, 5986 and a random port (currently 21991)
   I understand that the local-node port is 5984 for API requests, and the 5986 port is for administrative tasks, additionally, these ports are listening on localhost, but the random port is listening on all interfaces and I don't find any information about this in the documentation.
   
   ## Steps to Reproduce
   
   Fresh installation of CocuhDB 2.3 and configured as standalone, and execute:
   `# netstat -putan | grep beam`
   tcp        0      0 127.0.0.1:5986          0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      7985/beam.smp       
   tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:21991           0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      7985/beam.smp       
   tcp        0      0 127.0.0.1:5984     0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      7985/beam.smp     
   
   ## Expected Behaviour
   
   I expected don't have public ports in a standalone configuration, could I disable this connection listening?
   
   ## Your Environment
   
   * CouchDB Version used: 2.3.1
   * Operating System and version: Debian 10 Buster
