Description

The OpenCodelists application runs by default for developers on port 7000. Since macOS Monterey (released October 25, 2021), the AirPlay receiver function of macOS runs on this port, meaning the development server cannot be run.

We should either:

  • Change the port the applications runs on
  • Add a note for users on macOS

You can also disable this functionality and therefore free the port by going to:

System Settings -> General -> Airdrop & Handoff -> Airplay receiver
(previously: System Preferences > Sharing > AirPlay receiver)

And unchecking the tickbox.

Research direction

Locate the configuration that sets the OpenCodelists development server's default port and review how it is started. Clarify whether the intended outcome is changing the port or documenting the macOS AirPlay Receiver conflict; done means developers on macOS can run the development server without the port collision.
