Add option to automatically assign port

[smaartscz]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I allow my friends to create custom minecraft server. They have full power of creating them but still it's not pain-free. They will run into issues when starting server for first time because default port (25565) is already assigned to different one.

Describe the solution you'd like
Allow user with admin permissions to:
a) create list of available ports
or
b) dynamically create list of open ports on server

When creating new server Pufferpanel would look at this list and choose non-used port. This way it would be easy to create new server without any issues even for non-techsavy friends.

Describe alternatives you've considered
I considered creating some form of list but this needs to be maintenanced and realtime updated, that is possible, but it will be a lot of cooler if Pufferpanel could do it automatically.

I mean it depends on the template you can prewrite the config file for each version of the server as it is up to the server to assign the default port not the wrapper.

Alright, what will happen when 2 users uses same template? there will be 2 server with same port, right?

make it a variable option in the template and just make them have to read a already taken list before choosing

as you said it was friends correct?

Oh, I get it now. It's the almost same solution as creating list I mentioned in main post, right?

right but pufferpanel wouldn't do any of it unless you had some detailed stuff on what you wanted it todo
but it can app be configured in the template

That's why I wrote this feature request. Just an idea.
