Define Default Network

/home/peter/docker/docker-compose-mediaserver.yml
networks:
  default:
    driver: bridge

NOTE: This defines one network called default.

  • driver: bridge - The default bridge network is created automatically when Docker is installed.
    • It provides basic networking capabilities for containers running on the same host.
    • Containers connected to the bridge network can communicate with each other using their IP addresses or container names.

Add Docker Media Server Containers

/home/peter/docker/docker-compose-mediaserver.yml
networks:
  default:
    driver: bridge

include:
  # HOSTNAME defined in .env file
  - compose/$HOSTNAME/socket-proxy.yml
  - compose/$HOSTNAME/nginx-proxy-manager.yml

env_file:
  - '.env'

NOTE: Each app or service will be defined into its own yaml file.

  • These individual services will be added into that include block in the main Docker Compose file.
