 ✔ Container nextcloud-db-1  Started
  • otherwise try to remove the network and let compose create it again
  • if a non-existent container prevents the network from being removed, restarting the docker service is currently the only option (https://github.com/moby/moby/issues/33156)
    • first docker compose down the affected stack, there will be an error that the affected network cannot be removed
    • then restart docker
    • afterward remove the affected network manually docker network rm <network>
    • now bring the stack back up again
