I had the same error with the MeshCentral portion of the install on a completely different server at a different location.

please describe your environment in more detail. where is the vm running? in cloud, if so what provider? behind nat, if so what hypervisor?

standard and docker installs are tested before each release on hyper-v, esxi and proxmox behind NAT and on cloud providers Vultr, Digital Ocean, BuyVM and Hetzner. So must be something custom with your setup.

At this point I'm unsure what the MeshCentral issue was. I deleted the docker volumes and tried once again today and it got past that point.
