Hello everybody! I have the following issue: I have two countainers, let’s call them C1 and C2, and they both expose the same port, let’s say 1234. I want to route both of them through a gluetun container. to do this, I added

network_mode: container:gluetun

at each container. But they both expose the same port, so there’s a conflict. Without routing them though gluetun I can just

ports:
  - 1235:1234

but using network_mode this cannot be done. What can I do? The only thing that comes to my mind is to use two gluetun containers, but I’d rather use a single one

thanks in advance!

You can just change the port directly on the application for one of them.

Yeah that would be the best way to solve this problem.

thanks for the reply! many services allows this by setting an environmental variable or through a config file, but sadly not all of them

I’ve yet to come across one that doesn’t allow it, that’s a pretty important feature for anything listening on a port to have.
