Changing localhost port

If you are getting "Port already allocated" when creating a second dex, you will need to change the port number of the admin panel. This is a very easy thing to do and requires little effort.

Changing the port

1. Open docker-compose.yml in your text editor.

2. Scroll down a bit until you see "8000:8000". Change it to "8001:8000".

Important

Make sure you are changing the correct ports. The line you should be changing should be under the admin-panel category as seen below.

3. Save your changes and restart your bot using docker compose restart. If your bot has been already not running, do docker compose up -d instead.

2. Scroll down a bit until you see "5432:5432". Change it to "5433:5432".

Important

Make sure you are changing the correct ports. The line you should be changing should be under the postgres-db category as seen below.

3. Save your changes and turn your bot on again using docker compose up -d. You will be now able to access the new port.
