Hi,

That looks like the internet is not working inside of your image based on Temporary failure resolving 'deb.debian.org'.

How do you have Docker installed?

[khaledJabr]

I installed docker/docker compose per the instructions here https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/ubuntu/

I tried restarting the services like this but it did not work

sudo service docker restart
sudo /etc/init.d/docker restart

The solution here did it for me https://stackoverflow.com/a/51037151

Thanks for your help
