Additional context
Hi, from 2 days I'm struggling hard to get Dokploy running on my fresh Ubuntu VPS. At first I had problem with traefik not running at all, but managed to fix this using one of the methods from this issue #2018. Right now I cannot make Dokploy dashboard run correctly. When running docker logs <container_name> i get following errors, suggesting that it cannot connect to postgres.

Why this may happen and is there any way to set correct host for postgres in manual install script?
Will you send a PR to fix it?
No
