Port 2375 — docker

Dev and ops

Port 2375 carries Docker daemon over TCP. Above 1023, so an ordinary user can open it. Its encrypted twin is 2376.

1024–49151. Meant to be applied for, though some numbers here are custom by habit.

Where it sits in 65535

How to read this

  • A port number is 16 bits, so it runs 0 to 65535. There is no port 65536.
  • Opening anything at or below 1023 needs root on Unix.
  • Plain and encrypted often live on different numbers — 80 and 443, for one.
  • Numbers like 3000 and 8080 were never registered; those are marked as custom.
