I also see this error message when I run docker-compose logs electrs: `No such service: electrs`

I have never seen any movement on the progress meter, stuck at 0%

How can I verify whether electrs is able to talk to bitcoincore?

Edit: after further searching, I think this thread [here](http://community.umbrel.com/t/electrs-stuck-reading-app-logs-and-identifying-docker-processes/9373) is exactly the same issue I’m describing. Maybe it’s best I reply over there.
