Why can't I run the project on port 5000?

I'm trying to run a Node JS project on port 5000, but I can't:

Error: listen EADDRINUSE: address already in use :::5000

It would seem that everything is simple, but:

lsof -i tcp:5000
COMMAND   PID   USER   FD   TYPE             DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME
ControlCe 395 colibri  22u  IPv4 0x361e8dfd90bd1ee9      0t0  TCP *:commplex-main (LISTEN)
ControlCe 395 colibri  23u  IPv6 0x361e8dfd8b640a61      0t0  TCP *:commplex-main (LISTEN)

"ControlCe" is the "ControlCenter" from macOS 12.0.1.

Can you please tell me if there is a way to run applications on port 5000, or now I need to use, for example, port 5010?

Apple uses port 5000 for AirPlay Receiver.

If you need to, you can disable this in System Preferences > Sharing > AirPlay Receiver. Personally, I would just shift to a different, available port.
