Default TCP port

[krisnova]

We need to identify a TCP port for Aurae to use for default. I would like to expose an Aurae daemon on a rack in Seattle for my presentation at FOSDEM.

What TCP port should the project adopt for its default port?

i would like to propose 6444. it does not seem to be used for anything broadly (https://www.speedguide.net/port.php?port=6444).

Maybe to meme-y but my pitch is 26283, because Rust -> Iron Oxide -> Fe2O3 -> 26 2 8 3.

Edit: could also do 5224 for 26*2 and 8*3 to avoid using a 5 digit port number. Just gotta walk a little farther for the joke. Not on the list of registered ports on Wikipedia, and not much in the speed guide for it either.

+1 for 6444. It's just easier to remember than 26283 - though I like the idea behind it :)

decision made: it's 6444. however, the current config defaults to a UNIX file socket so the question now is:

should aurae default to a TCP socket?
