API Developer Portal: Error when running the portal.sh script - "Error response from daemon: could not choose an IP address to advertise since this system has multiple addresses on different interfaces"

Products

• CA API Developer Portal

Issue/Introduction

When running the portal.sh script the following error displays on screen:

Error response from daemon: could not choose an IP address to advertise since this system has multiple addresses on different interfaces (x.x.x.x on eth0 and x.x.x.x on eth1) - specify one with --advertise-addr

Environment

This impacts all Portal versions up to 4.4 as of the time of this edit.

Resolution

To resolve this issue, follow the steps below:

1. Edit the portal.sh script, line 648. Change the text that reads docker swam init > /dev/null to read instead as the following: docker swarm init --advertise-addr <ipaddress>  > /dev/null
   • Change <ipaddress> to the actual IP address that should be seeing the publish Portal services.
