Hi I was wondering if someone could shed on the issue im having, currently i have this docker-compose which im trying to give my container crowdsec an static IP but i keep getting an error ```auto ERROR: for c0572b64cb76_swag user specified IP address is supported only when connecting to networks with user configured subnets ERROR: for swag user specified IP address is supported only when connecting to networks with user configured subnets ERROR: Encountered errors while bringing up the project ``` ```auto version: "2.1" services: swag: build: . container_name: swag cap_add: - NET_ADMIN environment: - PUID=1000 - PGID=1000 - TZ=America/Bogota - URL=domain.co - SUBDOMAINS=admin - VALIDATION=http - MAXMINDDB_LICENSE_KEY=Wdexxxx - DOCKER_MODS=linuxserver/mods:swag-maxmind|linuxserver/mods:swag-dashboard|linuxserver/mods:swag-crowdsec - CROWDSEC_API_KEY=70f1f70088xxxxxx - CROWDSEC_LAPI_URL=http://192.168.160.6:8080 - ONLY_SUBDOMAINS=true networks: lsio: ipv4_address: 192.168.160.6 volumes: - /swag:/config ports: - 443:443 - 80:80 - 81:81 restart: unless-stopped crowdsec: container_name: crowdsec image: crowdsecurity/crowdsec:latest restart: unless-stopped depends_on: - swag networks: - lsio environment: - COLLECTIONS=crowdsecurity/nginx - GID=1000 volumes: - /swag/log/nginx:/var/log/nginx - ./crowdsec/acquis.yaml:/etc/crowdsec/acquis.yaml - ./crowdsec/crowdsec-db:/var/lib/crowdsec/data/ - ./crowdsec/crowdsec-config:/etc/crowdsec/ security_opt: - no-new-privileges=true networks: lsio: name: lsio driver: bridge ipam: driver: default config: - subnet: 192.168.160.0/24 gateway: 192.168.160.254 ``` ---

It should work. How do you run the containers and what is the version of your Docker Compose? Is it on Linux (I guess it is), Windows or Mac? Is it Docker Desktop (probably not)? > [@killmasta93](#): > > `ERROR: for c0572b64cb76_swag ` It looks like you had two swag containers running. It happens sometimes when compose can’t properly start the containers and starts one with a prefix like above. I don’t exactly know why. I always just run `docker-compose down` and start the containers again. ---

> [@killmasta93](#): > > `subnet: 192.168.160.0/24` Are you trying to use the same ip range your local lan has? As @rimelek already pointed out, it should work like this for the swag service, if this indeed is a network private to the docker engine. If you answer aboves question with yes, then it would explain why it’s not working - then you might want to use the search term “macvlan” in the forum serach. ---

thank you so much for asking on the discord channel but i realized that its better to put the name of the container instead of the IP ---

… now imagine you would have shared in the first post WHY you want to give it a static ip… the whole thread would’ve been way shorter. Note: If you try to access another container by it’s internal ip, then it’s high likely it is something not ment to be done like that. DNS-based service discovery is there for a reason… ---
