Hi all, good day.
I would like to ask if someone know if its possible to run a ktor service with two different ports (and set of routes) so, for example, I can have the metrics scrapper running on a separate port) .
I tried looking at the docs but could not figure out a way of doing that.

Afaik you should be able to spin up 2x embeddedServer using the Netty engine but bound to different ports.

For example:

fun main() = runBlocking<Unit> {
  launch {
   embeddedServer(Netty, port = 8080) {
     // install routes
   }
  }
  launch {
   embeddedServer(Netty, port = 8081) {
     // install other routes
   }
  }
}

If that doesn't work embeddedServer I'd consider it bugged.

is it possible using HOCON configuration file instead of code ?

Also, you can configure multiple ports for the same server instance and match routes by a specific port. Unfortunately, you can’t configure it via a configuration file.

embeddedServer(Netty, applicationEngineEnvironment {
    connector {
        port = 8080
    }

    connector {
        port = 8081
    }

    module {
        routing {
            port(8081) {
                get {

                }
            }
        }
    }
}).start()

yes, thats exactly what I want… mmm.. but no configuration file is a bummer 😫
