+I have installed [Writebook](https://once.com/writebook) in an Oracle Cloud instance.
+Writebook uses Docker, and it gets installed by default in host port 5555. However, I want to run Writebook in port 80 of the host because it makes it easier to expose it to the Internet from an Oracle Cloud instance.

+- Stop Docker
+- Edit `hostconfig.json` for your container hash `sudo vi /var/lib/docker/containers/CONTAINERHASH/hostconfig.json` and replace `"HostPort":"5555"` with replace `"HostPort":"80"`.
+- Start Docker.
