Error creating postgres container with Docker

Question

I'm initializing my studies with docker. When I creating the postgreSQL container with Docker, appear this error:

I've already reinstall docker and tried change the database port, but must be don't have success

The error says that port 5432 is already in use. Did you try using another port? — Triet Doan

The error indicates that the 5432 port is already in use, in the HOST. This means that this port is occupied by another application. This could be for example a Postgres instance that you have on your machine or maybe another container using up this port.

The port option is -p hostPort:ContainerPort, so to have access to the Postgres port of the container which is 5432 in the host at port 5000 try:

-p 5000:5432
