Not original poster but I also get this issue.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and Docker
2. Run the server in a docker container assigning an unused port to it and configuring the server to use it. (I use image ghcr.io/parkervcp/yolks:debian but it seems to also occur with other docker images)
3. Try and start the server

Additional details:

netstat inside the container, port is not in use:

netstat on the host with the container up (shows the docker proxy process):

netstat on the host with the container shut down:

Observed Results:
The server believes the port is used:
[2023-07-09 02:16:50:719 ERROR] Port [19133] may be in use by another process. Free up port and re-run program or adjust server.properties file to use alternate ports for server
[2023-07-09 02:16:50:719 ERROR] Port [19133] may be in use by another process. Free up port and re-run program or adjust server.properties file to use alternate ports for server

Expected Results:

The server starts up as it used to do

Can you please try to configure your server with different ports? You can do that by editing server.properties line: "server-port=19132" and "server-portv6=19133" be sure to turn off "enable-lan-visibility=true.
