Docker Expose Port 301

Expose Port 301 in Docker

docker run -p 301:301 your-image-name
		

This command maps container port 301 to the same port on the host machine.

Dockerfile Example

FROM node:18-alpine
WORKDIR /app
COPY . .
EXPOSE 301
CMD ["npm", "start"]
		

The EXPOSE instruction documents that the container listens on port 301.

EXPOSE vs Publish (-p)

• EXPOSE 301 documents the port inside the container.
• -p 301:301 makes the port accessible from the host.
• Exposed ports are not reachable unless published.

Docker Expose Port 301 Not Working

If Docker expose port 301 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 301 Already in Use

The error “port 301 already in use” means another process is already bound to that port on your host system.

# Find process using port 301
lsof -i :301

# OR use a different host port
docker run -p 8080:301 your-image-name
		

• Ensure your app is listening on port 301 inside the container
• Verify the port is published using -p
• Check firewall or network rules
• Avoid conflicts with existing services
