I have a docker container as part of docker-compose that should reach other containers but as well a server running in my local network.
(the docker container is a monitoring service)
I know that in order to reach the local LAN I should configure the network mode to “host”, is that correct? In that case am I still able to reach the other containers running in the default bridge network?
No that’s not correct. You don’t need to be in host mode to access the local LAN.
