Cannot access web interface with Docker

What im using:

Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
Docker
I used the quickstart from https://github.com/pi-hole/docker-pi-hole. The container says its healthy. I did not change anything in the yml file. I got the ip for pihole using docker inspect -f '{{range .NetworkSettings.Networks}}{{.IPAddress}}{{end}}' pihole. I have not changed the DNS in the router because using http://<IP_ADDPRESS_OF_YOUR_PI_HOLE>/admin/ is supposed to work without changing the DNS: How do I access Pi-hole's Dashboard admin interface?

Expected Behaviour:

Be able to enter the pihole web interface

Actual Behaviour:

Timeout when using pihole ip, and This site can’t be reached when using http://pi.hole

Debug Token:

https://tricorder.pi-hole.net/5jqrNsxl/

Please post the docker run command or compose file used to start the container.

I used docker compose up -d with the yml file in the github:

# More info at https://github.com/pi-hole/docker-pi-hole/ and https://docs.pi-hole.net/
services:
  pihole:
    container_name: pihole
    image: pihole/pihole:latest
    # For DHCP it is recommended to remove these ports and instead add: network_mode: "host"
    ports:
      - "53:53/tcp"
      - "53:53/udp"
      - "67:67/udp" # Only required if you are using Pi-hole as your DHCP server
      - "80:80/tcp"
    environment:
      TZ: 'America/Chicago'
      # WEBPASSWORD: 'set a secure password here or it will be random'
    # Volumes store your data between container upgrades
    volumes:
      - './etc-pihole:/etc/pihole'
      - './etc-dnsmasq.d:/etc/dnsmasq.d'
    #   https://github.com/pi-hole/docker-pi-hole#note-on-capabilities
    cap_add:
      - NET_ADMIN # Required if you are using Pi-hole as your DHCP server, else not needed
    restart: unless-stopped

^ I used this exact yml file

Try to start a new container adding the recommended environment variable FTLCONF_LOCAL_IPV4 to your compose file:

    environment:
      TZ: 'America/Chicago'
      FTLCONF_LOCAL_IPV4: '<IP_ADDPRESS_OF_YOUR_PI_HOLE>'

This worked, thank you. For anyone else looking at this I also added a password enviroment variable, probably doesn't affect this issue, but adding just in case.
