setup devcluster fails when cockpit is enabled

[d4rkstar]

Hello,
today i tried the ops setup devcluster on a Ubuntu machine which has the cockpit serivce enabled.

The setup failed because the port 9090 (wanted by nuvolaris-worker) is used by default from cockpit service.

ops setup devcluster                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            [7:33:33]

What we should do:
A) add some check before creating cluster?
B) document this inside the docker setup page / troubleshooting page?

Notes:

• the 9090 port is not IANA assigned and is used also by other softwares (example: prometheus).
• moving the cockpit.socket service to another TCP port obviously solves the problem

we should proably add more preflight tests like for example checking the ports
