Is Docker update to date?

Provide the output for uname -a on your host device.

I update every Monday. I will let you know if that fixes the problem. As requested Linux ##### 6.8.9-arch1-2 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Tue, 07 May 2024 21:35:54 +0000 x86_64 GNU/Linux And my docker compose incase I am overlooking a obvious error. I did try it without gluetun the same error in both cases

So you have also tried creating the FlareSolverr container separate from Gluetun (host network, and its own port mapping)?

Just to be clear for Monday, as I realise I wasn't, I specifically mean updating the Docker program, not your Docker containers.

[pops64]

I tried

flaresolverr:
    # DockerHub mirror flaresolverr/flaresolverr:latest
    image: ghcr.io/flaresolverr/flaresolverr:latest
    container_name: flaresolverr
    network_mode: host
    ports:
      - "8191:8191"
    environment:
      - LOG_LEVEL=${LOG_LEVEL:-info}
      - LOG_HTML=${LOG_HTML:-false}
      - CAPTCHA_SOLVER=${CAPTCHA_SOLVER:-none}
    restart: unless-stopped 

Changed nothing. I tried again deleting the container volume. No luck. I then updated just docker. Went back to original config. No luck. I tried again using host mode in "". No luck.

I run a system update every Monday. I have a watchtower container so my containers get updated within 24hrs of release.

Enable debug logging, see if that gives us any more insight into what's happening - https://github.com/FlareSolverr/FlareSolverr#environment-variables

You could also try a different TEST_URL.

No change. System update had no effect

What TEST_URLs did you try?

[pops64]

https://duckduckgo.com

  flaresolverr:
    # DockerHub mirror flaresolverr/flaresolverr:latest
    image: ghcr.io/flaresolverr/flaresolverr:latest
    container_name: flaresolverr
    network_mode: "service:gluetun"

      - CAPTCHA_SOLVER=none
      - TEST_URL=https://duckduckgo.com
    restart: unless-stopped

[ilike2burnthing]

As a test, can you try running FlareSolverr natively?

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/flaresolverr
or
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/flaresolverr-bin

[pops64]

Unfortunately I am trying to keep my package list small and I don't want to retrieve anything from the AUR. Part of the reason I run Docker is to avoid dependency headaches.

[ilike2burnthing]

K, try on your Windows device, natively and in Docker (ideally on the same local network), see if you can repeat the issue.
