cannot use other functions to apply a port without fastapi

[aLowMagic]

when i use this docker to run a fastapi like:

@app.get("/testyf")
async def root():
    return {"message": "Hello World"}

it runs fine, but if i insert a socket listener like;

class Listener(threading.Thread):
    def __init__(self, port):
        threading.Thread.__init__(self)
        self.port = port
        self.sock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
        self.sock.setsockopt(socket.SOL_SOCKET, socket.SO_REUSEADDR, 1)
        self.sock.settimeout(10000000)
        self.sock.bind(("0.0.0.0", port))
        self.sock.listen(0)
    def run(self):
        print("listener started")
        self.sock.accept()


lst  = Listener(9011)   # create a listen thread
lst.start() # then start

then it will not run and the errorlog is:

(actually, the socket is a prometheus method)
does someone have idea?

From the error it seems like your app is trying to listen on the same port with two different tings, but not sure what it could be.

Nevertheless, now that Uvicorn supports managing workers with --workers, including restarting dead ones, there's no need for Gunicorn. That also means that it's much simpler to build a Docker image from scratch now, I updated the docs to explain it.

Because of that, I deprecated this Docker image: https://github.com/tiangolo/uvicorn-gunicorn-fastapi-docker#-warning-you-probably-dont-need-this-docker-image

That might make configurations easier. 🤓
