Had to manually stop and start it to solve this

We’re pushing a fix for this today, most likely.

The issue is, when the server shuts down/crashes, it can take a couple minutes for the port to free so it can bind again.

Will you fix it by setting the socket flag (as I suggested) or by adding a delayed retry?
