Description

[NOTE]: # ( ^^ Provide a general summary of the issue in the title above. ^^ )

## Description

[NOTE]: # ( Describe the problem you're encountering. )
[TIP]: # ( Do NOT give us access or passwords to your actual CouchDB! )

Was trying to run the verify installation steps, and noticed a failure in the replication test:

> Error: could not resolve http://any:5984/verifytestdb/

## Steps to Reproduce

[NOTE]: # ( Include commands to reproduce, if possible. curl is preferred. )

- start a CouchDB docker container
- go on fauxton
- verify installation

## Expected Behaviour

[NOTE]: # ( Tell us what you expected to happen. )

No errors

## Your Environment

[TIP]: # ( Include as many relevant details about your environment as possible. )
[TIP]: # ( You can paste the output of curl http://YOUR-COUCHDB:5984/ here. )

* CouchDB version used: 3.3.2
* Browser name and version: any
* Operating system and version: Docker/OSX

## Additional Context

[TIP]: # ( Add any other context about the problem here. )

I haven't seen the `any:5984` notation before. It should be `0.0.0.0:5984` to work across devices. AFAIR, even Windows supports that these days.

Research direction

Start with the Fauxton Verify Installation flow in a Docker CouchDB 3.3.2 setup and reproduce the replication test failure. Trace where the request to http://any:5984/verifytestdb/ is created or resolved, then verify the installation steps complete without the resolution error across the reported Docker/OSX environment.
