Change port of server without changing provision yaml

[LSnyd]

Hi all,

I want to alter the port of admin and server in my script, so I can run multiple experiments on different ports on one node.

My project is set up similar to the cifar example. I found that I can alternate the port of the admin within the rn_secure.sh file in the example. However, I cannot find the location of the server port besides the one in the provision configuration yaml. Is there a way to change the value besides performing the provision every time from scratch?

The FL server port and admin port are part of the NVFlare security set up. Those values are securely protected and can not be manually changed after the package provisioned. In order to set up the system using different ports, you need to update the project.yml and re-run the provisioning.

I have encountered a similar error before and it happened when I had to install some updates for my machine which impacted SSL somehow. After rebooting, the error went away. Maybe there have been updates and your machine needs to reboot?

It's probably you still have some previous running processes not been killed. Can you do a check and kill those background processes?

[LSnyd]

All other processes were killed. I've already checked that with nvidia-smi and ps -ef|grep "projektname" via the terminal.

can you try ps -aef | grep worker_process ? (on the client)

I tried this as well, but there were no processes shown either. I just restarted our server and now it is running again. Seems like there were processes running, but they were not shown by any of these commands.
