The PHP error above is just a symptom of FTL not running.

The real issue is there is something else using port 53 and FTL can't start:

[2024-06-02 15:03:47.668 12258M] FATAL ERROR in dnsmasq core: failed to create listening socket for port 53: Address already in use
[2024-06-02 15:03:47.693 12258M] ########## FTL terminated after 60ms  (code 1)! ##########

You need to disable (or move to a different port) whatever is currently using port 53 on your host.

Thanks..
Aonly i read when in use the host, there should be no port set.
Do you have a example docker compose?
Or how can ik give the docker a port [ all port allawed? ]

How can i see what ports are free?
Sorry windows noob here
