[BUG] [Errno 99] error while attempting to bind on address

I tried to write a dockerfile for Chia:

FROM ubuntu:20.04

# run updates
RUN apt-get update && apt-get upgrade -y && apt-get install git screen nano lsb-release sudo -y

# checkout and install chia
RUN git clone https://github.com/Chia-Network/chia-blockchain.git -b latest --recurse-submodules 
WORKDIR chia-blockchain
RUN chmod +x ./install.sh && sh install.sh 

# create mountpoints for ssd temporary storage and persistent hdd storage
WORKDIR /
RUN mkdir /ssd && mkdir /hdd

# copy over ".chia" folder if it exists in the build folder
COPY .chia /root/.chia

WORKDIR chia-blockchain

# manually activate virtual env (replaces the ". ./activate" command)
ENV VIRTUAL_ENV="/chia-blockchain/venv"
RUN python3 -m venv $VIRTUAL_ENV
ENV PATH="$VIRTUAL_ENV/bin:$PATH"

# run Chia init
RUN chia init

You can build it by running:

sudo docker build -t chia-docker .

You can login to the container by running:

sudo docker run -it chia-docker

Activate the Python environment in the container:

. ./activate

Trying to run the daemon or any command dependent on the daemon:

chia run_daemon

Unfortunately fails with: OSError: [Errno 99] error while attempting to bind on address ('::1', 55400, 0, 0): cannot assign requested address

There is not much information why this error occurs, does anyone here have an idea?

I went though the code and ended up in the .chia/mainnet/config/config.yaml.

Since this whole issue seems to be related to something around localhost not being resolves I changed the line containing: self_hostname: &self_hostname "localhost" to self_hostname: &self_hostname "127.0.0.1" and chia start node successfully starts.
