Discourse won't start because port 80 is in use

[Aiden12114 (Aiden)]

So, I was trying to run ./launcher start app but then I keep getting this error:

root@Roblox-Development:/var/discourse# ./launcher start app

starting up existing container
+ /usr/bin/docker start app
Error response from daemon: driver failed programming external connectivity on endpoint app (73771b238a3c9cdb51c4976f9548e695f4d1a9b0a4605c33eb3d857a8206cffc): Error starting userland proxy: listen tcp 0.0.0.0:80: bind: address already in use
Error: failed to start containers: app

Anyway to fix it?

Extra Info:

I also ran these 2 commands ONLY.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nginx/stable -y
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install nginx

Running other websites on the same machine as Discourse

If you want to run other websites on the same machine as Discourse, you need to set up an extra NGINX or HAProxy proxy in front of the Docker container. This guide assumes you already have Discourse working - if you don’t, it may be hard to tell whether or not the configuration is working. Install nginx outside the container First, make sure the container is not running: cd /var/discourse ./launcher stop app Then install nginx from its PPA (Ubuntu ships by default a very old version, 1.4.0): …
