Hello, I am using chisel in docker containers, here are the configurations

Home server:
version: "3.8"
services:
tunnel:
container_name: tunnel_to_server
image: jpillora/chisel:latest
restart: always
network_mode: host
command:
- "server"
- "--port"
- "2000"
- "--reverse"
- "--auth"
- "user:password"

Public server
server_tunnel:
container_name: server_tunnel
image: jpillora/chisel:latest
restart: always
network_mode: host
command:
- "client"
- "--auth"
- "user:password"
- "xx.xx.xx.xx:2000"
- "R:9800:localhost:9800" # website
- "R:55432:localhost:55432" # postgres

When I reboot the home server the container starts but cannot reconnect, what is the problem?
