How do I make a container accessible over the local network in docker-compose v3?

Question

I would assume I need to set the container to use a bridge network. This seems possible with docker-compose v2, but I can't seem to find resources for docker-compose v3.

https://docs.docker.com/compose/networking/ does not even contain "bridge".

Answer 1

By default, docker compose v3 also uses bridge network. If you dont specify network, bridge driver gets used.

If you want to use custom driver, default driver can be changed like this:

networks:
  default:
    # Use a custom driver
    driver: custom-driver-1

If pre-existing network needs to be used, following option can be used:

networks:
  default:
    external:
      name: my-pre-existing-network
