I have some trouble to re-install DiyHue. I had it running on a VM via Docker.  
I wanted to re-install so i removed container etc etc . That didnt work. It gives the same error messages as here.

To my surprise i can also use it with home assistant ( i didnt know) so i thought this should be better but the same error codes.

Searched Google bur couldnt find something.

Sometimes the webpages start…but after two or three restarts it fails.

Problem is solved in Github
