Can you please remove the microservice container and recreate it?

This is happening because the application cannot resolve the DNS name download.geonames.org. Can you resolve that address from the host machine?

In the meantime, as a workaround, you can set DISABLE_REVERSE_GEOCODING=true. Of course this will do what it says on the tin :P
