You may encounter a similar issue when the container is spun up using the up.ps1 script, and subsequently, when attempting to run docker compose down followed by docker compose up, you encounter an error. This issue is likely caused by the network interface created by up.ps1 not being properly utilized during the execution of docker compose up.

To resolve this problem, follow these steps:

1. Run docker network ls to list all the available networks.
2. Run docker network prune to remove all networks. Note: This command will delete all unused networks on your system.
3. If you want to remove specific network use the command docker network rm <network Id> <space> <network Id> to remove the problematic network.
4. Once the network pruning is complete, run docker compose up -d to start the containers.

After following these steps, the issue should be resolved, and docker compose up should work fine.
