I followed the guide here https://github.com/louislam/uptime-kuma/wiki/How-to-Monitor-Docker-Containers#method-2-tcp---bridge-mode

Uptime Kuma runs in a LXC Container in the same VM Proxmox Host

when i add the Insecure line to the daemon.json, on the remote docker server, docker fails to start & i get this error message
