feat(config): port can be number by fiftin · Pull Request #4367 · semaphoreui/semaphore

fiftin · 2026-10-26T08:48:23Z

Summary by CodeRabbit

New Features
- Port configuration now accepts either a string or an integer, including values from 0 to 65535.
Bug Fixes
- Unprefixed port values are formatted correctly for server listeners and the localhost URL. Empty port values use the default port, 3000.

Walkthrough

Port configuration now accepts strings or integers. The configuration code normalizes these values into listener addresses, and the server listeners and public host URL use the normalized address.

Changes: Port Configuration and Address Handling

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Port configuration contract `util/config.go`, `config.schema.yaml`, `util/config_test.go`, `docs`	`ConfigType.Port` now uses `ListenPort`, which decodes string and integer values and provides normalized addresses. The schema accepts port strings or integers from 0 through 65535. Tests cover decoding, rejected JSON values, and address normalization. The docs subproject reference changed.
Runtime address consumers `cli/cmd/root.go`, `util/config.go`	`runService` uses `Config.Port.Addr()` for server listener addresses. `GetPublicHost` uses the same method when constructing its localhost URL.

Priority: Low

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Change: Feature

Merge Risk: Low · up to fd006

A numeric port above 65535 can pass configuration validation but prevent the service from starting. Reject it during decoding before merging.

What changed in this PR

This PR lets Semaphore accept an unquoted integer for the HTTP listen port while preserving existing string configuration formats.

Changes:

Adds ListenPort decoding and shared address normalization.
Updates the configuration schema to accept integer ports.
Adds decoding and normalization tests and updates existing assertions.

File	Description
`util/config.go`	Adds `ListenPort` and uses it to construct the public host URL.
`util/config_test.go`	Tests integer and string ports, invalid inputs, and address normalization.
`config.schema.yaml`	Allows string or integer port values.
`cli/cmd/root.go`	Uses the shared port-address helper when starting the server.

Reject out-of-range numeric ports during JSON decoding.

A JSON or YAML integer such as 65536 becomes "65536" and passes the existing one-to-five-digit rule. The runtime then passes ":65536" to http.ListenAndServe or http.ListenAndServeTLS, which rejects the invalid port and prevents startup.

Negative integers fail the existing regex. The affected range is 65536..99999.

Suggested fix

var num int64 if err := json.Unmarshal(data, &num); err != nil { return fmt.Errorf("port must be a string or an integer, got %s", string(data)) } + if num < 0 || num > 65535 { + return fmt.Errorf("port must be between 0 and 65535") + } *p = ListenPort(strconv.FormatInt(num, 10))
