Hi i have the main server and backup container compose in the same stack, and every time after the img update, the backup container would keeps restarting with below error message. feels like the docker docker is trying to connect the 127.0.0.11:53 which is not defined in any configuration... not sure how to resolve it in my environment? Thanks!
