Issue Description

I recently synced the optimism sepolia node using the docker deployment guide. I am trying to get the current block number using the eth_blockNumber rpc endpoint but I am getting this?

curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" --data '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"eth_blockNumber","params":[],"id":1}' localhost:8545
curl: (7) Failed to connect to localhost port 8545 after 0 ms: Couldn't connect to server

Steps to Reproduce

Deploy optimism-sepolia using the docker node guide
