Are there ways to change a port number of a container of docker matlab container?

Hello, matlab experts!

According to matlab docker hub, I'm running matlab and interacting with it via a web browser of port 8888.

As a server manager of our lab, I want to make several ports for many people to use matlab via their own web browser.

However, even if I change the port number, 8888 is the only port number that is generated.

The code used and its results are as follows.

sudo docker run --gpus all -it --rm -p 8889:8889 --shm-size=512M mathworks/matlab-deep-learning:r2022b -browser

Are there ways to change a port number of a container of docker matlab container?

Or are there ways for multiple users to use docker matlab?

Any answer will be helpful for me!

Hi @Sunghyoung Hong,

The port number inside the docker container can be changed by setting the MWI_APP_PORT environment variable when launching the container:

sudo docker run --gpus all -it --rm -e MWI_APP_PORT=8889 -p 8889:8889 --shm-size=512M mathworks/matlab-deep-learning:r2022b -browser

With this, you can access MATLAB at http://0.0.0.0:8889/

For more information on the available environment variables, see Advanced-Usage.md

You can raise an issue on the matlab-proxy repository on github if you face any difficulty.
