Impossible to add SMP or XFT address with the onion address if ports are not those by default
I had to set SMP/XFTP different ports from those by default because other services already took them.
I also set TOR and have an address for SMP and XFTP.
So I have the SMP/XFTP addresses like smp/xftp://<fingerprint>@<public_hostname:port>.
When I go into the settings of the SimpleX Chat app to create a new SM/XFTP server, I add the address smp/xftp://<fingerprint>@<public_hostname:port>[,<onion_hostname>] but unfortunately the field "Test server" is not active.
I had to delete the TOR address to become active in the feature "Test server", and only in this way, it works.
I suggest reviewing this configuration because it limits who cannot use the default ports.
I was able to add my XFTP server (running on non-default port, with a Tor address) with the syntax xftp://<fingerprint>[:<password>]@<public_hostname>[,<onion_hostname>][:<port>] (i.e., specify the port after the onion address, and it should apply to both hostnames). I assume the same works for SMP.
This should be better documented in the hosting guides.
