It looks like I can specify docker args in web\_only.yml though, do you know the syntax for that?

Edit: Okay the syntax was really easy, just:

docker\_args: “–network squadwars”

Now it’s working fine, thank you. (Still doesn’t work from commandline but I don’t care :))

Edit: Well the squadwars network is working fine, but discourse seems to be broken. I’m going to try to add it onto the host network as well, not sure if that works.
