you can start it on custom port. For Mac OS:
export REACT_SERVER_PORT=5001
export STATUS_NODE_PORT=10001
export STATUS_DATA_DIR=~/status-data/instance1 # Note the absolute path here
open Status.app
It was implemented in https://github.com/status-im/status-react/pull/6666
@flexsurfer , I think we can implement popup dalog on Qt side that shows to user information about occupied port and instructions on how to change it with export commands above, wdyt?
@vkjr is it related to ubuntu? realm will be removed soon, so we will not have this port anymore right?
@flexsurfer, if we removed realm and will remove ubuntu-server then we won't face this problem.
Thanks @churik for the workaround.
If this issue will be removed automatically, cool. Otherwise it would be nice if the application could automatically choose a free port.
When a different application is running on port 5000 already, Status desktop does not start. Instead it either hangs in this screen or does not even show a screen. It does neither crash nor show an error message.
How to reproduce
python3 -m http.server 5000

The fun thing is that Status sends stuff to that port (owned by another application), like:
