Port offset

I have a Dgrpah set up with one zero and five alphas. Is it necessary for the alphas 8080 port to be offset or can they stay at 8080? . Each alphas host name is unique
thanks

Keeping the port 8080 for alphas will just lead to ambiguity as to which alpha is actually listening on that port. Go through this link to learn more about single host setups → https://dgraph.io/docs/deploy/single-host-setup/

Thankyou.
Same rules apply to zeros servers?

If each Alpha or Zero node lives in its own host with his own IP. You can let it without offset.

e.g:

Zero-0 = 192.168.1.10:5080
Zero-1 = 192.168.1.11:5080
Zero-2 = 192.168.1.12:5080

Alpha-0 = 192.168.1.20:8080
Alpha-1 = 192.168.1.21:8080
Alpha-2 = 192.168.1.22:8080
Alpha-3 = 192.168.1.23:8080
Alpha-4 = 192.168.1.24:8080
Alpha-5 = 192.168.1.25:8080

if you have an internal naming server(DNS) you can use addresses instead of IPs.

see this example with docker and NGINX

They each run on their own EC2 instance/host and use DNS
alpha0.tree
alpha1.tree
alpha2.tree
alpha3.tree
alpha4.tree

thankyou for the clarification

thanks
