Docker for chronograf does not start (bin adress already in use)

I have installed influxdb and chronograf without success, so I have decided to install them using docker containers. The thing is that when I start chronograf's container, I receive this error message:

sudo docker start chronograf Error response from daemon: driver failed programming external connectivity on endpoint chronograf (): Error starting userland proxy: listen tcp4 0.0.0.0:8888: bind: address already in use Error: failed to start containers: chronograf

Solution

  • The problem is that another process is using the same port. Check which one using:

    sudo netstat -pna | grep <port>

    Then, kill that process:

    sudo kill <number>
