How to configure network using docker-compose

Question

I'm using this docker image https://github.com/moodlehq/moodle-docker and it works as advertised. Among other things it exposes web server on localhost:8000 address. What I would like is to bind it to the host's ip instead.

Using raw docker something like that is accomplished with

docker run --network=host [container]

What should be placed in the yml file for docker-compose as documentation is a bit confusing for me.

Answer 1

You can use network_mode in compose files -

network_mode: "host"

Sample compose -

version: '3'
services:
  api:
    image: 'node:6-alpine'
    network_mode: host
    environment:
     - NODE_ENV=production
    command: "tail -f /dev/null"
