Docker Error bind: address already in use

Question

When I run docker-compose up in my Docker project it failes with the following message:

Error starting userland proxy: listen tcp 0.0.0.0:3000: bind: address already in use

netstat -pna | grep 3000 shows this:

tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:3000            0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      -  

I've already tried docker-compose down, but it doesn't help.

Answer 1

For Linux/Unix:

Simple search for linux utility using following command

netstat -nlp | grep 8888

It'll show processing running at this port, then kill that process using PID (look for a PID in row) of that process.

kill PID

Answer 2

`$` sudo service redis-server stop

Does the trick.

Answer 3

I resolve the issue by restarting Docker.

Answer 4

I had same problem,
docker-compose down --rmi all (in the same directory where you run docker-compose up)
helps

Answer 5

I ran into the same issue several times. Restarting docker seems to do the trick

Answer 6

I upgraded my docker this afternoon and ran into the same problem. I tried restarting docker but no luck.

Finally, I had to restart my computer and it worked. Definitely a bug.
