Hello

This project is a simple app using react and django with docker-compose.

As I want to make this project work with vscode Codespace (cf this issue ), I put network_mode: host on the django service in the docker-compose file.

However, by doing so, django is not running anymore (the container seems to run but the browser cannot access localhost:8000).

I would like to know how I could solve this so that all services work. Thank you for your answer.

Few things could be:

First check you do not have a service running on port 8000. Asumming you use Linux.

netstat -tnlp

If port is free try: network_mode: "host"

Which I use often.

If even this doesnt solve the issue, you may have to edit your /etc/hosts file.

Adding something like to /etc/hosts

0.0.0.0 django

Now try django:8000
