Originally created by @timwsuqld on GitHub (Nov 7, 2022).

When installing on a Linux machine that has existing Wireguard tunnels, Netbird still tires to use port 51820. Editing the config.json to a new port gets things running, but having it automatically detect that port 51820 is in use at first "up" would be great, as it could then pick an unused port

Thanks, @timwsuqld, for the suggestion. This makes sense, and we have initial support for custom ports by editing the config file at /etc/netbird/config.json and changing the value of WgPort.

relates to #566

FYI: we're veering towards removing the uint validation on the --wireguard-port argument, allowing it to be -1 (meaning it would be randomly picked by the operating system) and maybe even defaulting to this behavior. It would be another way to address the original issue in this feature request.
