Port conflicts are a common issue when deploying Docker containers, especially in complex setups like R2R. This guide will help you identify, diagnose, and resolve port conflicts in your Docker environment.
A port conflict occurs when two processes attempt to use the same network port. In Docker, this typically happens when:
Signs of a port conflict include:
First, identify which ports are already in use on your system:
or
Examine your docker-compose.yml
file for port mappings:
If you identify a conflict, you can:
a. Change the host port in your Docker Compose file:
b. Use automatic port assignment:
If a host service is using the required port:
Sometimes, stopping and removing all Docker containers and networks can help:
Ensure your Docker networks don’t have overlapping subnets:
As a last resort, you can use host network mode, but this bypasses Docker’s network isolation:
Check container logs for more detailed error messages:
If the R2R API server (default port 7272) is conflicting:
Check if any other service is using port 7272:
Modify the R2R service in your docker-compose.yml:
Update your environment variables:
If the Hatchet engine (default port 7077) is conflicting:
Check for conflicts:
Modify the Hatchet engine service:
Update the SERVER_GRPC_BROADCAST_ADDRESS
environment variable for the Hatchet engine service.
By following this guide, you should be able to identify and resolve most port conflicts in your Docker and R2R setup. Remember, after making changes to your Docker Compose file or configuration, you’ll need to rebuild and restart your services:
If problems persist, check the R2R documentation or seek help from the community support channels.
