How to enabe the web socket connection in docker?

I get the following error when I try to send some timeseries data:

edge@renedge:~/testcloud$ docker logs testcloud
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "main.py", line 162, in <module>
    main(mock=debug)
  File "main.py", line 142, in main

    return self._send_to_timeseries(msg)

    ws = self._get_websocket()

    self.ws = websocket.create_connection(url, header=headers)

    options.pop('socket', None))

    hostname, port, is_secure, proxy)
  File "/root/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/websocket/_http.py", line 154, in _get_addrinfo_list
    raise WebSocketAddressException(e)

edge@renedge:~/testcloud$  WebSocketAddressException(e)WebSocketAddressException: [Errno -3]

The same code works outside of the docker container! Here below you can find the content of my Dockerfile (I have hidden the proxy address):
