I downgraded to 4.7.0 and then everything works again

[marcel255]

Hello, I had the same problem. A downgrade to 4.7.0 also fixed the error for me.

I then updated docker to version 20.10.11 and now it also works with version 4.7.1

Thanks a million ! Ubuntu official repos was on Docker version 18.09.0. Did a manual install and now on Docker 20.10.18. Seems to have fixed the issue.
