Docker Expose Port 284

Expose Port 284 in Docker

docker run -p 284:284 your-image-name
		

This command maps container port 284 to the same port on the host machine.

Dockerfile Example

FROM node:18-alpine
WORKDIR /app
COPY . .
EXPOSE 284
CMD ["npm", "start"]
		

The EXPOSE instruction documents that the container listens on port 284.

EXPOSE vs Publish (-p)

• EXPOSE 284 documents the port inside the container.
• -p 284:284 makes the port accessible from the host.
• Exposed ports are not reachable unless published.

Docker Expose Port 284 Not Working

If Docker expose port 284 is not working, it is usually due to incorrect port publishing, an application not listening on the expected port, or a port conflict on the host machine.

Port 284 Already in Use

The error “port 284 already in use” means another process is already bound to that port on your host system.

# Find process using port 284
lsof -i :284

# OR use a different host port
docker run -p 8080:284 your-image-name
		

• Ensure your app is listening on port 284 inside the container
• Verify the port is published using -p
• Check firewall or network rules
• Avoid conflicts with existing services
