Now you know that the problem is not your DNS.

It is either your routing or firewalling.

I tell it to point docmost.example.com to 192.168.1.80, [...] but actually nothing happens. I get a connection timed out error.

I suggest to collect more info about this "nothing".

ping from your PC on the inside to the name docmost.example.com

ping from your PC on the inside to the number 192.168.1.80

traceroute from your PC on the inside to the name docmost.example.com

traceroute from your PC on the inside to the number 192.168.1.80

Then do the same in the reverse direction: from that docker container to your PC.

Maybe traceroute shows you some stations on the route. Then do the same from this station.

Write down the results thoroughly.

You may not notice, but there are devices that can measure the distance that a car travels, even for a long distance, and with a super high precision.

Car manufacturers have such devices. I have seen a few.

This guy must have worked at Tesla before, and there he did their calculations of future achievements.

I have this same acc for probably >20 years now. But you should not think that they would get smarter! They still want to me to verify my age from time to time.

(I do never comply, of course, because all personal data there is either missing or fake)

You do not let your k8s control instance look "live" at your git server during the start (or reformation) of the whole cluster. It needs the (repo and) files checked out somewhere locally, and this local "somewhere" must exist at start time.

Later, when your git is alive, you do a regular git pull for keeping it up to date.

Yes, you are winning, of course you are. You are winning big time, greatest win of all times, very greatest, and nobody (left) who could deny that.

chicken and egg situation, since I plan to store my Kubernetes manifests in my git repo

Not really.

K8s would use a "checked-out" visible representation, not the repo database itself.

git is file system based.

Git is also a database.

I don't

this is the latest step in a deliberate effort to sabotage the functioning of the US

You got that right.
