docker-run is working, but docker-compose give errors "URL rejected: Malformed input to a URL function"

[ZhengYuan-Public]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

Current Behavior

I've managed to it working with docker run (I replaced my actual subdomains and token with XXXXXXXX),

$ root@docker:~/duckdns# cat docker_run.sh 
docker run -d \
  --name=duckdns \
  --net=host `#optional` \
  -e PUID=1000 `#optional` \
  -e PGID=1000 `#optional` \
  -e TZ=Asia/Shanghai `#optional` \
  -e SUBDOMAINS=XXXXXXXX \
  -e TOKEN=XXXXXXXX \
  -e UPDATE_IP=ipv4 `#optional` \
  -e LOG_FILE=false `#optional` \
  -v /path/to/duckdns/config:/config `#optional` \
  --restart unless-stopped \
  lscr.io/linuxserver/duckdns:latest

but somehow docker-compose is not working.

Expected Behavior

No response

Steps To Reproduce

I just used the template from the repo. (I replaced my actual subdomains and token with XXXXXXXX).

$ root@docker:~/duckdns# cat compose.yaml 
services:
  duckdns:
    image: lscr.io/linuxserver/duckdns:latest
    container_name: duckdns-compose
    network_mode: host #optional
    environment:
      - PUID=1000 #optional
      - PGID=1000 #optional
      - TZ=Asia/Shanghai #optional
      - SUBDOMAINS=XXXXXXXX
      - TOKEN=XXXXXXXX
      - UPDATE_IP=ipv4 #optional
      - LOG_FILE=true #optional
    volumes:
      - /path/to/duckdns/config:/config #optional
    restart: unless-stopped

After logging into the container, here are the env variables

$ root@docker:~/duckdns# docker exec -it duckdns-compose /bin/bash
$ root@docker:/# env
PUID=1000
HOSTNAME=docker
S6_CMD_WAIT_FOR_SERVICES_MAXTIME=0
PWD=/
TZ=Asia/Shanghai
HOME=/root
PGID=1000
VIRTUAL_ENV=/lsiopy
LOG_FILE=true
S6_VERBOSITY=1
S6_STAGE2_HOOK=/docker-mods
SUBDOMAINS=XXXXXXXX
TOKEN=XXXXXXXX
TERM=xterm
UPDATE_IP=ipv4
SHLVL=1
PS1=$(whoami)@$(hostname):$(pwd)\$ 
LSIO_FIRST_PARTY=true
PATH=/lsiopy/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin

env is not a valid test. environment variables are sandboxed. cat /run/s6/container_environment/SUBDOMAINS is

Hi, thanks for your reply. I've checked both the SUMDOMAINS and TOKEN in the folder /run/s6/container_environment, and they are all properly assigned.

I've tried to find the problem myself and I was able to pinpoint it to this line of code.

In the docker compose container:

$ root@docker:/# dig +short ch txt whoami.cloudflare -4 @1.1.1.1 | sed 's/"//g'
;; communications error to 1.1.1.1#53: timed out

While in the docker run container:

$ root@docker:/# dig +short ch txt whoami.cloudflare -4 @1.1.1.1 | sed 's/"//g'
XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX

But it's weird that their network settings are exactly the same (--net=host for docker run and network_mode: host for docker compose)

Can you clarify how you solved the issue? I'm facing the same issue and have not been able to fix it

Thanks

Hi, I had the issue when I was using docker which came with QNAP NAS and it was caused by a setting named advanced folder permission. I didn't change anything and it works well on other docker installations.

[Biorix]

OK thank you
I do have the same issue with docker-compose and not with the run command.
You managed to make it work with compose?

[eric10k93]

I'm getting this error as well on a brand new install with docker compose on ubuntu server... I'm not so sure this should have been closed...

[TharathielCB]

Same here. I'd appreciate a solution as well :)

[tarickarnold]

I'm also having this same issue as well. Any one have any luck?

[AdilusPrimus]

Same here, this is what the dig command returns from the duckdns Docker container:
dig +short ch txt whoami.cloudflare -4 @1.1.1.1 | sed 's/"//g'
;; Warning: Message parser reports malformed message packet.

Same result from the Ubuntu Host
dig +short ch txt whoami.cloudflare -4 @1.1.1.1 | sed 's/"//g'
;; Warning: Message parser reports malformed message packet.

But it seems to be a malformed request based on the parameters, so I tried this instead
dig +short txt whoami.cloudflare @1.1.1.1
but it returns nothing.
