Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We are aware of the recent changes in Docker Desktop and currently suggest the following workarounds:

1. Uncheck the corresponding box in Docker Desktop Settings:
   Follow the steps illustrated in the screenshot or in our documentation here to disable it.
   

2. Start LocalStack with a specific DNS address:
   Run the following command:

   DNS_ADDRESS=0 localstack start

3. Modify your docker-compose.yml file:
   Remove port 53 as indicated in our standard docker-compose.yml file.

Please let us know if these solutions resolve the issue for you. If you need further assistance, feel free to reach out.

Is it resolved so that it works without changing the Docker settings, or is it resolved so that it now shows an error message and instructions to fix it in the terminal instead of starting LocalStack in Docker mode 🐳 and hanging forever?

[MarcelStranak]

@rafrafek, we have updated the localstack cli as well, you can find the update in the docs as well localstack/docs#1325.

[rafrafek]

I see, so it will no longer hang forever even with --host-dns thanks to removing the broken detection code in #11011

2. The port usability detection, which was broken in the docker desktop case, is removed now. This means if a user with port 53 already taken tries to set the flag, the docker exception explaining the failure to bind the port will be returned.

Thanks!
