Can't run docker on windows 10 - Ports are not available

Question

I'm trying to run a docker image on my windows 10 pro workstation and I'm getting this error:

docker: Error response from daemon: Ports are not available: listen tcp 0.0.0.0:80: bind: An attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its access permissions.

I'm running this command:

docker run -d -p 80:80 docker/getting-started

And getting this response back:

I've tried completely uninstalling McAfee AntiVirus and turned off the local windows firewall.

I have protection at the router level, but I'm not sure that's causing the issue, and I would rather not disable that because it affects my whole home network.

How can I run docker and get past this problem?

Answer 1

Something was listening on port 80:

Get-Process -Id (Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 80).OwningProcess Handles NPM(K) PM(K) WS(K) CPU(s) Id SI ProcessName ------- ------ ----- ----- ------ -- -- ----------- 6046 0 212 6668 4 0

Telnet also confirms that. Looks like just changing the port allowed it to work!

docker run -d -p 81:81 docker/getting-started 5a0b1202f48ef63c06d75c2f26be2a05f29aa84fe2fbdc5b66f989aa86df98f
