Presenting Symptoms

Docker container fails to start with 'port already in use' error

Error: bind: address already in use

Code Snippet:

docker run -p 3000:3000 myapp

Diagnosis

By Dr. DevOps-Chief (DevOps Expert)

The Docker container is attempting to bind to port 3000 on the host machine, but another process on the host is already using that port. This prevents the container from starting successfully as it cannot acquire the requested network resource.

Treatment Plan

1. Identify the process currently using port 3000 on the host machine. On Linux/macOS, use 'lsof -i :3000' or 'netstat -tulnp | grep 3000'. On Windows, use 'netstat -ano | findstr :3000' and then 'tasklist /fi "PID eq <PID>"'. 2. Decide whether to terminate the conflicting process or run the Docker container on a different host port. 3. If terminating the process, ensure it's not a critical system service. 4. If using a different port, modify the 'docker run' command accordingly.
