Docker “ERROR: could not find an available, non-overlapping IPv4 address pool among the defaults to assign to the network”

Question

I have a directory apkmirror-scraper-compose with the following structure:

.
├── docker-compose.yml
├── privoxy
│   ├── config
│   └── Dockerfil         


        

Answer 1

Killing the vpn is not needed.

This other comment about using a new network comes pretty close to the solution for me, and was working for a while, but I found a better way thanks to some talk over in another question

Create a network with:

docker network create your-network --subnet 172.24.24.0/24

Then, at the bottom of docker-compose.yaml, put this:

networks:
  default:
    external: 
      name: your-network

Done. No need to add networks to all container definitions etc. and you can re-use the network with other docker-compose files as well if you'd like.
