### Default ports used by Engine
Aura Engine requires a number of ports for internal and external communication.
When you start Engine the following is happening:
Those are the default port numbers:
*`1234` ... Liquidsoap Telnet Server
*`8008` ... Exposes the Engine API
*`5000` ... Svelte development mode; dynamically uses some other port if occupied
1. Python `engine-core.py`: Initializes `modules/core/engine.py` (The virtual mixer; class for remote-controlling Liquidsoap), Scheduler and the Redis Server
2. Python `engine-core.py`: Start Liquidsoap.
3. Liquidsoap: When Liquidsoap finished its startup, it creates a socket file as configured in `socketdir` of `engine.ini`.
4. Python `modules/core/liquidsoap/client.py`: Connects to that socket file.
5. Python `modules/schedulung/scheduler.py`: Continously loads schedules from the API endpoints, stores them in the local database and starts the playout as per the schedules.
