2147	web.port can conflict	joeyh	daira	"I created 2 separate tahoe nodes on my laptop, and got some very surprising behavior. It turned out that tahoe create-node puts in a default web.port, and if 2 nodes have the same port, any tahoe command will assume that, since it connects to the configured port, it's talking with the right node.

This impacts at least the git-annex tahoe special remote, which sets up a tahoe node for the user. Users sometimes have more than 1 git-annex repository, and so will try to set up separate tahoe special remotes (which might connect back to the same grid, or not).

It would be great if web.port could be set to something like tcp:any:interface=127.0.0.1, and then tahoe start could just pick any free port."	defect	assigned	normal	soon	code-nodeadmin	1.10.0		usability cli git-annex port
