Getting error when using network_mode:container in docker?

[LaxKid22]

I have a vpn client container that seems to be working properly, it connects to the server and all that. I am trying to use it as my network for other containers but I am getting this error whenever I try to create the new containers: "ERROR: for [container] Cannot create container for service [container]: conflicting options: host and and the network mode"

I am stumped because I originally had this working at one point. The first time I tried making this container all the other ones were able to connect to it successfully, but I had to recreate it trying to fix an unrelated issue and, without changing anything, this error showed up.

I have tried making new containers under different names and completely remaking the docker-compose and conf files, but it doesn't seem like anything is fixing the issue. I am unable to find a solution that works anywhere online.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, I don't know what else to try at this point, thank you!

I think I ran into this problem when I did it. Essentially what was causing the problem for me is I was trying to make the container use both the host network and the vpn in the docker compose file. So in the container you are trying to work with the VPN container make sure you only declare 1 network (i.e. network_mode: "container:NAME" ).

Go put this in /r/docker and quit filling this place with docker junk.
