I’ve created, validated and published my app by homey cli.

In ‘Developer Tools’, the app’s state is ‘Processing failed’[.](https://frontiertechnologyinstitute.com/about/)

When I try ‘homey app run’, got error as below: [industrial-table](https://thefurbysh.com/product-category/cabinets/cupboards-and-wardrobes/?v=79cba1185463)

My guess would be that you’re trying to create a Homey Cloud app and don’t have a Homey Pro, is that correct?

Are you running the nodejs cli and Docker on the same computer?  
Do you recognise 172.17.0.1 as your local IP?

The last lines I get when using Docker are:

```auto
