So, I was trying to run `./launcher start app` but then I keep getting this error:
```plaintext
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.
```plaintext
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nginx/stable -y
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install nginx
```

check your host ports usage, the nginx may binding 80 by default that you need to stop nginx.

I’d just like to note the launchpad ppa \*\*is not \*\* actively maintained by nginx. If you really want the latest version take a look at the [install instructions](http://nginx.org/en/linux_packages.html).

> @pfaffman edited this heavily 2022.02.24. Blame me if it’s broken. 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.
