How to configure custom docker compose network

Official docker docs do say that! You can do this by cli or gui, but doing via cli is easier as you need to set some options for it to work correctly on openwrt i.e "com.docker.network.bridge.enable_icc": "true", "com.docker.network.bridge.enable_ip_masquerade"…

Networking in Compose

I got it to work with the following:

1. add a custom network to my docker-compose.yml file. They key is com.docker.network.bridge.name: docker1 (name it whatever you want i suppose):

networks:
  mxi_default:
    name: mxi_default
    driver: bridge
    driver_opts:
      com.docker.network.bridge.name: docker1

2. add an interface in luci, covering the device1 specified in com.docker.network.bridge.name: docker1 from docker-compose.yml:
   

   

3. add the new interface to docker firewall zone:
