I have the problem that I receive following errormessage during activating https on grafana docker:  
Error: ✗ \*api.HTTPServer run error: failed to open listener on address [grafana.testnet.net:3000](http://grafana.testnet.net:3000): listen tcp 192.51.96.105:3000: bind: cannot assign requested address

Somebody knows the solution for my issue?

Thank you in advance.

[grafana.testnet.net](http://grafana.testnet.net) resolves to 13.248.169.48 and 76.223.54.146

192.51.96.105 is an address allocated by JNIC in Japan

I recommend you use genuinely internal-only domain names and RFC1918 addresses  
unless you really are working on a public-Internet server, in which case you  
need IP address and hostname to match up.

Okay, well, does the actual IP address show in your error message correspond  
to the machine which you’ve called “[grafana.testnet.net](http://grafana.testnet.net)” in your posting?
