Music assistant keeps disconnecting and fails to reconnect when running on docker on a different machine

[DeveshwarH1996]

The problem

I run my music assistant on a different machine because my pi, which is running home assistant gets too slow when running music assistant. However, I keep getting this issue where the integration keeps disconnecting every few hours and I can't just reinitialize. I would have to click the button to add new service and input the ip:port to get it to reinitialize. This is the error I receive when it disconnects and I try to just reload the service
