Trying to use Docker for the first time: Error response from daemon: driver failed programming external connectivity on endpoint webserver (2d9

Viewed 2065

I am trying to build a Flask/PostgreSQL/SQLAlchemy/Alembic/libpq-dev/psycopg2 web app on macOS. I have never used Docker so I thought I'd give it a try. I installed it and was going through the Get Started steps.

$ docker --version
Docker version 18.06.0-ce, build 0ffa825

$ docker-compose --version
docker-compose version 1.22.0, build f46880f

$ docker-machine --version
docker-machine version 0.15.0, build b48dc28d

Then I went to step two:

$ docker run hello-world

Hello from Docker!
This message shows that your installation appears to be working correctly.

To generate this message, Docker took the following steps:
 1. The Docker client contacted the Docker daemon.
 2. The Docker daemon pulled the "hello-world" image from the Docker Hub.
    (amd64)
 3. The Docker daemon created a new container from that image which runs the
    executable that produces the output you are currently reading.
 4. The Docker daemon streamed that output to the Docker client, which sent it
    to your terminal.

To try something more ambitious, you can run an Ubuntu container with:
 $ docker run -it ubuntu bash

Share images, automate workflows, and more with a free Docker ID:

Everything was working just like the documentation, but then I tried the next step, "starting a dockerized web server," and this is what happened...

$ docker run -d -p 80:80 --name webserver nginx
159841d356d8cf6b16fd592b22daa76f3a734a8b35bf24f9f83b3dce6486d49e
docker: Error response from daemon: driver failed programming external connectivity on endpoint webserver (2d93210e398bf70794b706d6e07ca2c2b78297b9f337271710f4c62be8a79b7d): Error starting userland proxy: Bind for 0.0.0.0:80: unexpected error (Failure EADDRINUSE).

So, I googled the error and have found numerous instances of this or similar errors on forums like github and stackoverflow. I tried all of the steps to resolve it that I could find.

sudo netstat -nl -p tcp  | grep 8123

but I don't know what to make of any of this so it doesn't do me any good on it's own. So I found these steps and tried them...

$ docker stop $(docker ps -a -q)

$ docker rm $(docker ps -a -q);

$ docker volume rm $(docker volume ls -qf dangling=true)
"docker volume rm" requires at least 1 argument.
See 'docker volume rm --help'.

Usage:  docker volume rm [OPTIONS] VOLUME [VOLUME...]

Remove one or more volumes

$ docker network rm $(docker network ls -q)
Error response from daemon: bridge is a pre-defined network and cannot be removed
Error response from daemon: host is a pre-defined network and cannot be removed
Error response from daemon: none is a pre-defined network and cannot be removed

Unfortunately, I do not know what any of this means either. I thought the problem may have been that the last line shows PostgreSQL's PgAdmin4 is running. So went into Utility Monitor and Force Quit that. There were still 5-6 instances of 'postgres' that I could not get to force quit for some reason. It must be something to do with my Mac coming with postgres of some kind.

Does anything I've pasted here help someone who knows Docker diagnose what I can do to move past this?

$ docker run -d -p 80:80 --name webserver nginx

docker: Error response from daemon: driver failed programming external connectivity on endpoint webserver (2d93210e398bf70794b706d6e07ca2c2b78297b9f337271710f4c62be8a79b7d): Error starting userland proxy: Bind for 0.0.0.0:80: unexpected error (Failure EADDRINUSE).

You can docker -d -p [another_host_port]:80 -- name webserver nginx to bind it into another port instead of 80, I think there is another app or instance using port 80 that you haven't find.

Docker port binding syntax: host:guest. (https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/run/#expose-incoming-ports)

Here nginx run in a Docker instance and expose 80 itself, so we map nginx's 80 (guest) to our desired port (host) and we access the app by that port.

I got the same problem, but docker restart doesn't help. So I started Kitematic and opened the settings of my postgres container and changed the configured port to localhost:5432 again. Now it works for me.

Or use these commands:

docker stop postgres
docker commit postgres postgres2
docker run -p 54320:5432 -td postgres2
