Docker Expose Port 89

Expose Port 89 in Docker

docker run -p 89:89 your-image-name
		

This command maps container port 89 to the same port on the host machine.

Dockerfile Example

FROM node:18-alpine
WORKDIR /app
COPY . .
EXPOSE 89
CMD ["npm", "start"]
		

The EXPOSE instruction documents that the container listens on port 89.

EXPOSE vs Publish (-p)

• EXPOSE 89 documents the port inside the container.
• -p 89:89 makes the port accessible from the host.
• Exposed ports are not reachable unless published.

Docker Expose Port 89 Not Working

If Docker expose port 89 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 89 Already in Use

The error “port 89 already in use” means another process is already bound to that port on your host system.

# Find process using port 89
lsof -i :89

# OR use a different host port
docker run -p 8080:89 your-image-name
		

• Ensure your app is listening on port 89 inside the container
• Verify the port is published using -p
• Check firewall or network rules
• Avoid conflicts with existing services
