Your node is [visible on explorers](https://1ml.com/node/03db40337c2de299a8fa454fdf89d311615d50a27129d43286696d9e497b2b027a). I think what you mean to ask is why the explorers do not show additional data (like color, IP, alias) related to your node ID.

sorry, I must be confused with the definition. you are right, I'm wondering about alias color, and IP address. I'll update my question.

updated the docker image and put `bind-addr` to `0.0.0.0:9375` somehow fixed the problem for some unknown reason.
