nginx proxy_pass blocks the port

[bbreton3]

I am trying to host the Tensorboard on a Heroku instance, and to secure it, I have added nginx using the nginx-buildpack in front of it. The idea is that Tensorboard will create the app on port 6006, and Nginx will redirect this port to the external port provided by Heroku $Port.

When I start the app, I have the following error:

TensorBoard attempted to bind to port 6006, but it was already in use

My config files are as follows:

Procfile

web: bin/start-nginx tensorboard --logdir="/app/" --host=http://127.0.0.1 --port=6006

config/nginx.conf.erb

daemon off;
#Heroku dynos have at least 4 cores.
