Packet forwarder crashes

[pe1mew]

The packet forwarder crashes with this message:

 packet-forwarder  INFO: fake GPS is enabled
 packet-forwarder  ERROR: [up] getaddrinfo on address helium-miner (PORT 1680) returned No address associated with hostname

When in the file sx1301/local_conf.json the address helium-miner was replaced with localhost the forwarder starts:

{
  "gateway_conf": {
    "server_address": "localhost",
    "serv_port_up": 1680,
    "serv_port_down": 1680,
    "servers": [ {
      "server_address": "localhost",
      "serv_port_up": 1680,
      "serv_port_down": 1680,
      "serv_enabled": true
    } ],

It seems as if helium-miner was not resolved.

Further investigation learns that although the forwarders stay alive it is not connected to gateway-rs. A ping reveals that pinging to the gatewayrs container is not responding while pinging to the ip-address works
