Documented steps Add `network_mode: "host"` to the service definition. The container shares the host's network namespace directly, so the process binds host ports as if it ran on the host; no port mapping is required. Run the stack with `docker compose up -d`; the service is reachable on localhost at whatever ports the app opens. Docs: https://docs.docker.com/compose/compose-file/05-services/ Known gotchas When `network_mode: host` is set, the service `ports:` mapping is inapplicable/ignored — the container binds host ports directly. Host networking provides no Docker DNS/service discovery, so other containers cannot reach the service by its Compose service name. `network_mode` is mutually exclusive with the `networks:` attribute on the same service. `network_mode: host` is not supported by `docker stack deploy` (Swarm).
