You can map it to a different port. No need to change the internal port.

HI and thank you for the response. I know I can map it on a different port. I want to use this container on shared docker network where another container is using this port, and for some reasons I do not want to change it.

Fwiw a shared docker network would not give you issues

I'm assuming they mean pyload is using another container's network (likely for vpn). If so, it's an edge case so I'm not in favor of adding it as a feature globally, however, you can edit the pyload config file in the config folder.

This is the line you're looking for: https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-pyload-ng/blob/main/root/defaults/pyload.cfg#L42 And this is where it gets copied to: https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-pyload-ng/blob/main/root/etc/cont-init.d/30-config#L10-L12

I guess I have made a mistake with my description above.

I am using a particular container as a network service, and all the containers under it have this network configuration:

network_mode: service:servicecontainer
    depends_on:
      - servicecontainer

Then, another container under that same stack is already using internally port 8000. On my setup, I have mapped ports of the nested containers on the parent servicecontainer, so internal 8000 is mapped already (on a different host port) but it is used from the other container

Thank you @aptalca this was exactly the case. Also congratulations for the wide variety of containers! I am actively using Plex, pyload, transmission and others :)
