05/16/2023, 3:27 PMHey all! I just finished installing coder on an Ubuntu server. I already haven an application running on 3000/tcp. Is there a way to specify an alternate port when running 'coder server'?

05/16/2023, 5:39 PMOn a slightly related note.... I tried going the route of using the "Run Coder with the built-in database (quick)" (https://coder.com/docs/v2/latest/install/docker#run-coder-with-the-built-in-database-quick) option and got an error about not being able to create a directory after the docker run command.

05/16/2023, 5:40 PMIt looks like the documentation assumes a user called 'coder' is already created with the home directory /home/coder. I even tried creating an account called coder, added the user to sudo and docker groups, logging in as that user and running the recommended commands.... Same error.

/home/coderj
