Bug report (or feature request): MAC Address Support for Macvlan Networks in Docker Compose

Docker Engine General

This is a community forum, where community users help other community users. If you want developers to see this, then I recommend opening an issue in docker’s upstream git repository https://github.com/moby/moby/issues

This one is spot on:

The missing --mac-address argument in the implementation and docs looks like a bug to me, since it is available as an option when creating the container:

 docker run -d \
  --network=name=macvlan,ip=192.168.70.27,mac-address=02:42:0a:00:46:27 \
  <image>

(see: options table and examples underneath in the docs: https://docs.docker.com/reference/cli/docker/container/run/#network)

I am surprised 2. didn’t work. I am pretty sure I used external macvlan and a compose file for my tests: How to assign MAC address to specific network when using multiple networks - #26 by damianiw.
