Cypress fails to verify the server is running

I've noticed this is quite common issue when working with containerized Cypress. I've found one topic here but resetting settings isn't really a real solution. In some cases may be.

I'm using docker-compose to manage build of my containers:

...
other services
...

nginx:
    build:
      context: ./services/nginx
      dockerfile: Dockerfile
    restart: always
    ports:
      - 80:80
    depends_on:
      - users
      - client

cypress:
    build:
      context: ./services/cypress
      dockerfile: Dockerfile
    depends_on:
      - nginx

here's my cypress.json:

{
  "baseUrl": "http://172.17.0.1",
  "video": false
}

I know it's recommended to refer to service directly like this "http://nginx" but it never worked for me and referring to it by IP worked when I used non-containerized Cypress. Now I'm using Cypress in a container to make it consistent with all other services but Cypress is giving me a hard time. I'm not including volumes because so far I didn't see reason for including them. I don't need to persist any data at this point.

Dockerfile:

FROM cypress/base:10.18.0

RUN mkdir /app
WORKDIR /app

ADD cypress_dev /app

RUN npm i --save-dev cypress@4.9.0
RUN $(npm bin)/cypress verify
RUN ["npm", "run", "cypress:e2e"]

package.json:

{
  "scripts": {
    "cypress:e2e": "cypress run"
  }
}

I'd very much appreciated any guidance. Please do ask for more info if I haven't provided enough.
