“Address already in use” error upon docker-compose up

Question

I\'m trying to start up several docker containers using docker-compose up, but I\'m getting the following (partial) error message:

Recreating 1faf02         


        

Answer 1

Following https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/106561/finding-the-pid-of-the-process-using-a-specific-port, instead of netstat I used lsof -i:

kurt@kurt-ThinkPad:~$ sudo lsof -i :5672 | grep LISTEN
[sudo] password for kurt: 
beam.smp 953 rabbitmq   52u  IPv6  33026      0t0  TCP *:amqp (LISTEN)

After running sudo kill 953, I was able to run the docker-compose up.
