Common errors

panic: invalid character '<' looking for beginning of value

Your Dockflare container has not generated the public bypass app for the wings address. Assuming that Dockflare is OK (refer to its logs),

1. Stop the Wings stack

2. Delete the dockflare volume

3. Start the stack

Unable to resolve or DNS error

1. Wait half an hour for DNS to update

2. Start the init container

You may need to do this a few times
