Free the Port

A decommissioned container squats on port 8080 and blocks the new release.

A intermediate Docker challenge worth 10 points. Solve it hands-on in a real Docker environment in your browser - no local setup, no fake shells.

The Challenge

Scenario: Release day. Deploying storefront on port 8080 failed — and the browser panel still shows a page marked LEGACY SYSTEM — decommissioned 2024. Save that as your "Before".

Tasks:

• Investigate: docker ps -a — why did storefront fail to start? What owns 8080?
• Remove the legacy container entirely (it was decommissioned a year ago)
• Start storefront (image storefront:v2 is built already) on 8080 → 80
• Refresh the browser panel: Storefront v2 should be live

Commands to learn: docker ps, docker rm -f, docker start, reading port-bind errors

Run check when done.
