I am connecting [unified-red](https://flows.nodered.org/node/unified-red/scorecard) with the intent of using it to manage users and profiles in `node-red`.

I tried to do it using Docker, connecting services with Docker Compose. Inside the app container, I can access MongoDB using `mongosh` and test the connection using `telnet`, but `unified-red` exits with `1` and gives this error: [Uncaught Exception: MongooseError: Operation `roles.findOne()` buffering timed out after 1000ms](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/unified-red-not-working-mongooseerror/81878). Therefore, I am setting up the `unified-red` module to understand the problems.
