mutually exclusive `network_mode` and `networks` error

[mbkoper]

When running docker compose --profile stack-2 up -d it shows an error: service qbittorrent declares mutually exclusive 'network_mode' and 'networks': invalid compose project

docker version: 23.0.5 docker compose version: v2.17.3

I used the latest code (commit fd6ca8f)

[hersch-eckerd]

I'm running into the same issue with docker-desktop. Docker v23.0.5 .

If I run it multiple times, it will show the same error for prowlarr and qbittorrent, but not at the same time.

service qbittorrent declares mutually exclusive 'network_mode' and 'networks': invalid compose project service prowlarr declares mutually exclusive network_mode and networks: invalid compose project

EDIT:

I didn't see the first line docker network create mynetwork

After running that, it seems works properly. my bad!

[Ard3ny]

I did run the docker network create mynetwork and I still got the error.

What fixed it for me was manually commenting out the network_mode line under qbittorent and prowlarr as it states in the comment in the docker-compose.yml file.

From: "network_mode: service:vpn # Uncomment this line if vpn is enabled "

To: "# network_mode: service:vpn # Uncomment this line if vpn is enabled"

[navilg]

@Ard3ny If vpn is not being used, in that case network_mode should be commented. VPN is strongly recommended.

[navilg]

@mbkoper is network named mynetwork created ? Are you using vpn service ? Can you try what @hersch-eckerd tried and let me know

[mbkoper]

@navilg I did create the network before starting the VPN profile. See the attached screenshot. I am running on a Debian Linux machine.

I also tried on a windows machine with Docker installed and get the same error.

[Ard3ny]

@mbkoper As I've mentioned above, go to the docker-compose.yml file and edit out the network_mode lines in qbittorent and prowlarr

From: "network_mode: service:vpn # Uncomment this line if vpn is enabled "

To: "# network_mode: service:vpn # Uncomment this line if vpn is enabled"

[ksejan]

Hello, i have that line uncommented, I'm trying to install the stack1 configuration without any vpn since i don't have one but i keep getting the same error message, i have the mynetwork created and also docker version: 24.0.1 and docker compose version: 2.18.1. Please Help.

[Ard3ny]

I'm guessing you only did it once. You have to do it 2 times. One for bittorent section and one for prowlarr section in the config.

If that's not the case please post the whole config file.

[ksejan]

Sorry for the long time in getting back in advance. Ok, changed my mind and now want to use protonvpn with its free servers, adapted the config file for the vpn but still the same problem presists, tried it on diferrent servers and nothing changed. Here is the full config:
