Description
Description of the issue
"Port Already Allocated" Error Hinders Database Container Local Installation Progress.
Reason for the issue
Database container docker image already occupies port 5432, Resulting in a "Port Already Allocated" Error During Local database Installation.
Ideas of solution
Port Mapping Adjustment:
Advantages:
- Quick and straightforward solution.
- Minimal adjustments to the current setup.
Disadvantages:
- Not suitable if both containers need the same port.
- Risk of conflicts with other services when using common ports.
docker run -p "5433:5432" -v "$(pwd)/oeplatform_data:/var/lib/postgresql/data" ghcr.io/openenergyplatform/oeplatform-postgres:latest
