Error "USER-STORE [ERROR] Server error: listen tcp :8084: bind: address already in use" when running in Azure
When PrivX is deployed in Azure, the User Store microservice may fail to start with an error:
USER-STORE [ERROR] Server error: listen tcp :8084: bind: address already in use
This indicates that a process has reserved port 8084 on the system. In Microsoft Azure, this may be due to Microsoft OMS agent occupying the port.
https://github.com/microsoft/OMS-Agent-for-Linux/blob/master/installer/scripts/npm_startup.sh
To fix this, either move OMS Agent to a different port, uninstall it or configure the PrivX User Store microservice to use a different port.
To change the User-Store port, specify
listen_port
in the User-Store configuration at/opt/privx/etc/user-store.toml
(replace8888
with the number of a free port):listen_port = 8888 # use a free port
In
/etc/nginx/privx/privx-https-location.conf
, set the User Store'sproxy_pass
to the matching port number (replace8888
with the port number you used in the previous step):location /local-user-store/api/v1/ { if ($request_uri !~* ^/local-user-store/api/v1/) { return 404; } proxy_pass https://127.0.0.1:8888; include privx/privx-proxy-headers.conf; }
Restart PrivX and Nginx to apply your changes:
systemctl restart privx nginx
