{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"DiscussionForumPosting","headline":"net.server.listen reusePort option being used on unsupported platforms, results in server termination","articleBody":"For Windows, MacOS, or any Linux distro not specified on the [docs page](https://nodejs.org/docs/latest/api/net.html#serverlistenoptions-callback), passing the `reusePort=true` option for `net.server.listen` results in server termination.\n\nIs it required that a server terminates in this case, or can there be a graceful fallback for unsupported systems (e.g. default to false on systems that do not support `SO_REUSEPORT`)?\n\nIt appears that there is prior art for platform specific behavior. Could we use a similar pattern to gracefully handle `reusePort`?\n\nhttps://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/e28656a6172c35d88a472e33894a11f0e9f98eee/lib/net.js#L1852-L1861","author":{"url":"https://github.com/ajchili","@type":"Person","name":"ajchili"},"datePublished":"2025-12-10T20:34:30.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":2},"url":"https://github.com/61018/node/issues/61018"}| route-pattern | /_view_fragments/issues/show/:user_id/:repository/:id/issue_layout(.:format) |
