for the record, the issue just fixed itself suddenly after waiting for a few minutes and refreshing, but i worry about this happening when im not actively on to monitor.

I don't know what you have in your local/config/database.inc.php but if you have a hostname in the $conf['db_host'] field, try an IP address instead.

Thank you, yes, I tried 127.0.0.1 and also the correct IP, both do not work, so strange.

Just found a solution. I saw in "docker inspect" that there are DNS-Names configured, so I used "PIWIGO_DB:3306", this worked.
