Run it like this:

vitepress serve docs --port 8080

We currently don't attempt serving on next available port because many people are using vitepress serve to host their sites, if the port is auto-incremented then there might be certain issues due to the port not being fixed. Hence, we leave this to our users to explicitly specify the port to serve on.

Ok this totally makes sense.

@brc-dd So why not change a new constant port instead?

Vite is using 4173 for preview feature so maybe we could align with it 👀
