Trouble with API calls from Homepage to self-hosted services behind

Hi there...

I've just finished setting up Traefik and am in the process of
migrating my Homepage config to the new .home.local URLs now that I am
not using ports per service. However, they don't work. I get `API
Error Information` instead.

SERVICES.YAML

    - Testing:
        - "Sonarr":
            href: http://sonarr.home.local
            widget:
                type: sonarr
                url: http://sonarr.home.local
                key: xxxxxx

In this example, Sonarr is working perfectly with no ports specified
through the docker-compose file. It seems just the API calls are
failling. This is happening for all the \*arr services plus some
others.

Since the services themselves are working, I've not posted the docker-
compose files themselves as I don't believe they are relevant. I made
no other changes to the services other than removing the ports listed.

Place Homepage into the same Docker network as those services (Sonarr
etc), then use just the containername as hostname for the widget, not
the full FQDN.

And please stop using `.local` for your home network, it is already
used by mDNS and can cause you weird issues. Use the TLDs that are
specfically meant for this, for example `.private` or `.home` or
`.lan` etc.

Homepage is in the same network as the other docker services and I
tried that but got the same issues.

.home.local is not my real domain name. I use something else
completely but changed it for this post.

I'm aware r/Docker exists but wasn't sure if this was a Homepage issue
or not. Wasn't aware of their discussion page though so will also try
there.
