Docker Expose Port 535

Expose Port 535 in Docker

docker run -p 535:535 your-image-name
		

This command maps container port 535 to the same port on the host machine.

Dockerfile Example

FROM node:18-alpine
WORKDIR /app
COPY . .
EXPOSE 535
CMD ["npm", "start"]
		

The EXPOSE instruction documents that the container listens on port 535.

EXPOSE vs Publish (-p)

• EXPOSE 535 documents the port inside the container.
• -p 535:535 makes the port accessible from the host.
• Exposed ports are not reachable unless published.

Docker Expose Port 535 Not Working

If Docker expose port 535 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 535 Already in Use

The error “port 535 already in use” means another process is already bound to that port on your host system.

# Find process using port 535
lsof -i :535

# OR use a different host port
docker run -p 8080:535 your-image-name
		

• Ensure your app is listening on port 535 inside the container
• Verify the port is published using -p
• Check firewall or network rules
• Avoid conflicts with existing services
