Issue communicating to matrix-bridge-irc

[damomurf]

First of all, thanks for this chart: awesome stuff.

I'm having an issue with deploying synapse along with just the matrix-bridge-irc component. Everything seems run fine and the config files check out, with the IRC bridge configured to listen on 9006, however I constantly get the following errors in the synapse log, making only half of it ever work:

2020-10-02 06:14:47,201 - synapse.appservice.api - 230 - WARNING - as-recoverer-appservice-irc-15 - push_bulk to http://matrix-bridge-irc:9006/transactions/1 threw exception Connection was refused by other side: 111: Connection refused.

I'm kind of at a loss the explain why it's not accepting connections.

Just for more info, the matrix-bridge-irc service exists, resolves in the cluster and can be pinged, but there's nothing listening on 9006 inside the IRC bridge.

I dug in to this and found out that #47 will fix the root cause.
