the issue is with Sabnzbd. All other services start and run perfectly fine. It’s just Sabnzbd. If I remove the service everything works. I have also run “netstat -a -n -p tcp -b” and confirmed none of the ports I pick are being used. I have tried all sorts of random ports and still get the same error message

Error response from daemon: conflicting options: port publishing and the container type network mode

any help would be greatly appreciated

I know this was posted 7 year ago but your issue is caused by you declaring the ports under the SABNzbd service, this needs to me removed and entered under the Gluetun service.

Just 8 months ago, but an answer can help anyone in the future.

Just to extend the answer, the port forwarding was not allowed in the sabnzbd service as it used the other container’s network so all port forwarding had to be defined there.
