Super interesting!

Have you guys tested Drifting in Space with executing users code and opening ports? (like replit)



Currently we only expose one port per host, and it needs to speak HTTP. I do have a use-case in mind that requires exposing arbitrary TCP/UDP ports, as long as they're specified at “spawn time”, which might not quite get at the functionality replit has if it allows you to map ports dynamically while a service is running.

So I guess the answer is “probably not in the near future, but maybe eventually” :)
