Gitpod: REQUEST: Allow closing ports on demand

[Kreyren]

Currently it doesn't seem that it is possible to close ports on demand:

You mean to not expose or to stop the process?

You mean to not expose or to stop the process? -- @svenefftinge

i'm not sure what you mean so:

If i expose a port i want to have the ability to change it's status on not exposed on demand

It would also be a nice feature to expose ports on runtime where gitpod only allows to expose 5900 and 35900 by default where adding additional ports i not possible unless something outputs in them.

We are going to change this soon so that the 'unexposed' state means: only accessible to users having access to your workspace. That is only you unless you have shared the running workspace.
'Exposed' means accessible publicly (without need to login, etc.).

[svenefftinge]

And with that it will be possible to change the un-/exposed state in the ports view, of course.

Assuming reporter-feedback-needed i find that as a sufficient solution.
