I’ve got a dev machine at home that runs various dev tools such as Jira and Bamboo. Like all Atlassian products they run on various ports. This allows you to easily run their software, together, on the same machine.

There’s a few knit-picking issues with this though. The most obvious is that port numbers can be hard to remember. Bamboo runs on 8085 & Stash on 7090.

This removes the need to update your router each time you add a new service, as well as, everything runs on port 80, externally.
