I am having a problem with port 8081 conflicting with Azure Cosmos DB emulator and my Docker containers.
The obvious fix was to change the Docker container that was using the host port 8081. I was surpised that Azure Cosmos DB was using this port so I decided to ask Perplexity why this was happening. The answers I got back were impressive.
Once my containers are up and running I can’t use Azure Cosmos DB Emulator because I get a message from the Emulator saying that Port 8081 is in use.
I needed to recreate my doskeys.macro file on a new computer. The following commands show how to setup permanent doskey commands.
Open Regedit.
Go to the following regedit directory.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor Create a new key named Autorun.
REG_SZ Value
doskey /macrofile="d:\util\macros.doskey" My macros.doskey These are short key commands that I use every day.
cr=createcmd cu=cleanup dl=dlist no="C:\Program Files\Notepad++\notepad++.exe" $1 mp=D:\Util\BuildMp3Tag.exe Added note I have found a better way to install this registry setting.
In one of the Windows 10 feature upgrades Microsoft decided to make Powershell the default command shell on the Windows start menu (Win-X keys). I use Powershell occasionally and wanted the option to use the Command prompt instead.
To do this go to:
Settings > Personalization > Taskbar There is an option to replace Windows Powershell with the command prompt.
