Why network_mode: host?

[YeapGuy]

Can you elaborate on why you say "this fork has a dependency on network_mode: host" and similar in the readme? I'd like to avoid using network_mode: host for security and maintainability.

• you don't need to enable ipv6 in the docker daemon and in the compose yaml
• you can connect npmplus to non docker services bound to localhost
• you don't need to use docker networks to connect npmplus to the container, since you can expose the ports of the container to localhost (example: 127.0.0.1:5678:5678) and the in npmplus just proxy to http(s) 127.0.0.1 and port 5678
• you can connect to crowdsec without having npmplus and crowdsec in the same docker network
• crowdsec could also run on host
• you can't forgett exposing ports
• you can't forgett exposing 443/udp
• you can still have protection using ufw for example

Thank you. ❤️ Keeping these things in mind, I think I don't need network_mode: host with how I have things set up.

But why is this (Host) not the Default in the Docker Template? I used Unraid.

[Revan335]

And i must change the Unraid Port (80+443) to any other or a recommend Port?

[Zoey2936]

because the template is not by me
