Dokku logspout breaking my app

[Loschcode]

Everything was working smooth and today, without any change in my codebase and configuration whatsoever, I couldn't rebuild or ship new versions

-----> Cleaning up...

       BUILD_ENV added successfully
docker: Error response from daemon: driver failed programming external connectivity on endpoint logspout (353daab00d197d1dac52a7b379fbfa3b8533d668266122b8048dd884cb9baf6f): Bind for 127.0.0.1:18000 failed: port is already allocated.

2021/12/07 17:31:38 exit status 1
2021/12/07 17:31:38 exit status 1

No matter what command I use it crashes

dokku logspout:start
docker: Error response from daemon: driver failed programming external connectivity on endpoint logspout (d67f3357caacb1011f893c5792a6013b81f5f3142edfa1b9bfe0d85a394ae337): Bind for 127.0.0.1:18000 failed: port is already allocated

What am I supposed to do? I've no idea how to troubleshoot this system.

it looks like something is already running on port 18000. you can run something like the following then post that output here.

$ netstat -lnpt | grep 18000
tcp        0      0 127.0.0.1:18000         0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      2112
$ ps auxwww | grep 2112

additionally you might try removing the logspout container (i.e. dokku logspout:destroy) and deploying again:
