Is there a way to use Port "10000" for VirtualMin and another service on the same server?

Help! (Home for newbies)

Hello.

I want to take over a new VPS on which I intend to reinstall WebMin/VirtualMin. However, I also intend to install (on this same VPS server), JITSI which uses port 10000 to transmit and receive encrypted call traffic (as indicated on this JitSi installation link: How To Install Jitsi Meet on Ubuntu 22.04 | DigitalOcean).

So, knowing that WebMin/VirtualMin uses Port 10000 for its connection, can I use this same Port 10000 with both WebMin/VirtualMin and JitSi on the same VPS server without having any problem ???
If not, is it possible to use another port for WebMin/VirtualMin ??? If yes, how to do it ???

Please help me (guide me).

Two services cannot share a port on the same IP. You’ll need to change one of them to use a different port.

I will check it. Thanks

Would it matter if Webmin is using TCP and Jitsi is using UDP?
Opps look like not, just read you can’t.
Ignore.

this might help

A port is a port. You cannot have 2 services on one port period.

The port defines which service the packets should be sent to.

TCP and UDP are the transport packets and at some point in the 7 Layer OSI model these effectively become irrelevant at some point when reading the data.

TCP ports and UDP ports are entirely separate. A TCP server and a UDP server can use the same IP/port combination.
