Ruby: Opening UDP/TCP ports

This documentation is part of the Advanced usages guide. You can view the complete guide here: Going further with your Ruby deployments.

👋 Welcome to the Stackhero documentation!

Stackhero provides a ready-to-use Ruby cloud solution offering a range of advantages, including:

  • Deploy your application within seconds using a simple git push.
  • Use your own domain name and benefit from the automatic configuration of HTTPS certificates for enhanced security.
  • Take advantage of automatic backups, one-click updates, and clear, transparent, and predictable pricing.
  • Enjoy optimal performance and enhanced security thanks to a private, dedicated infrastructure.

Save time and make your life easier: it only takes 5 minutes to try Stackhero's Ruby cloud hosting solution!

Ruby applications often use the HTTP protocol on ports 80 (HTTP) and 443 (HTTPS). If your application needs additional ports or different protocols (TCP or UDP), configure the "Ports Redirections" settings in your Ruby service via the Stackhero dashboard.

You will need to specify the entry port (open publicly), the destination port (open within your Ruby service), and the protocol (TCP or UDP).
