Exposing ports with lando

So after the talks yesterday at laracon I decided to give lando a shot. I am used to building my own custom docker images etc, but it looked cool.

I have almost gotten my setup working, but one thing is giving me issues. How do you expose ports on a container? I just want to open a couple of ports on the appserver, yet it is telling me the port is in use (by the lando proxy) after rebuilding

I am unsure if I am missing something in the docs, but they arent really clear I think: https://docs.lando.dev/config/services.html#localhost-assignment

name: intranet
recipe: laravel
config:
  webroot: ./public
  php: '8.0'
  via: nginx
  database: mariadb
  cache: redis
  xdebug: true
services:
  appserver:
    moreHttpPorts:
      - "3009"
    overrides:
      ports:
        - "3009:3009"

I have also tried this but it seems that is for when the service exposes just one port? Not quite sure.. https://docs.lando.dev/guides/external-access.html#locking-down-ports

name: intranet
recipe: laravel
config:
  webroot: ./public
  php: '8.0'
  via: nginx
  database: mariadb
  cache: redis
  xdebug: true
services:
  appserver:
    portforward: 3309

Hey Sinnbeck,

Not sure if this would help (not familiar with Lando) . But did you try something like

docker run -d -p 3309 --name intranet. ?

Might help.

@esorone I can easily get it working using docker directly (or docker compose). But with Lando it almost seem like an afterthought (they seem to force you into using proxies)

I decided to try and make a dedicated node container instead.. And that worked.. Not sure why it doesnt on the appserver service

services:
  node:
    type: node:16
    ports:
      - 3009:3009
    build:
      - npm install
