Can't start daemon : "failed to allocate gateway (172.18.0.1): Address already in use"

[idkw]

I have followed the guides to install the panel (v0.5.7) and the daemon (v0.3.7).
The panel works properly. However I don't manage to start the daemon.
I have used the auto installer for the daemon.
I have added the node json config under /srv/daemon/config/core.json as shown in the docs
But then when starting the daemon as root with npm start I get

root@LC-13234:/srv/daemon# npm start

> [email protected] start /srv/daemon
> node src/index.js | node_modules/bunyan/bin/bunyan -o short

Can you help me figure this out ?

Thanks

Ok I have found a workaround after digging into the daemon code.

The IP 172.18.0.1 comes from here : https://github.com/Pterodactyl/Daemon/blob/0a44d9ce34ce469f8481db06a1a6036efc82a4d7/src/controllers/network.js#L70

I have added this to my core.json config and now it works.
This should be added to the docs for other people facing the same issue.

 "docker": {
    "socket": "/var/run/docker.sock",
    "autoupdate_images": true,
    "network": {
      "interfaces": {
        "v4": {
          "subnet": "172.19.0.0/16",
          "gateway": "172.19.0.1"
        }
      }
    },
    "interface": "172.19.0.1"
  },

You already have the pterodactyl ip addresses in use in docker.

You can edit the core.json to change the pterodactyl_nw ip address.

Similar to this.

It is such a rare issue that we don't have it prominently linked anywhere, however there is documentation in the sidebar for the Daemon.
