Help, am getting this error while trying to start Nginx in Docker:
# docker start nginx-ssl Error response from daemon: driver failed programming external connectivity on endpoint nginx-ssl (d3d1bd3cb867ade4bb779dffa61544fb12db3c8b2fd15c8ce3fbc3296f6a0c0e): failed to bind port 0.0.0.0:443/tcp: Error starting userland proxy: listen tcp4 0.0.0.0:443: bind: address already in use Error: failed to start containers: nginx-ssl
It looks like the error is due to port 443 already being in use on your system. Here are a few steps you can take to resolve this issue:
1) Check for existing services using port 443: Run the following command to see if any services are currently using port 443:
# sudo lsof -i :443 #
If you find any services, you can stop them or change their configuration to use a different port.
2) Stop conflicting services: If you identify a service using port 443, stop it using:
# sudo systemctl stop <service-name> #
Replace <service-name>
with the name of the service.
3) Restart Docker: Sometimes, restarting Docker can resolve port binding issues:
# sudo systemctl restart docker #
4) Check Docker container ports: Ensure no other Docker containers are using port 443:
# docker ps -a #
If you find any, stop or remove them:
# docker stop <container-id> # docker rm <container-id> #
5) Modify your Docker configuration: If the above steps don’t work, you can modify your Docker configuration to use a different port for your nginx-ssl
container. Update your Docker run command or Docker Compose file to bind to a different port, such as 8443:
# docker run -d -p 8443:443 --name nginx-ssl nginx #
These steps should help you resolve the port conflict and start your nginx-ssl
container successfully.
