He discovered that one can basically assign a docker container as the "network" for **another** docker container. When you do this, it effectively melds the two containers into one bigger container. If you're familiar with kubernetes even a little, this is very similar to the "pod" idea where basically two or more containers can all be aggregated together. > > This was **really** exciting to me, because in general when you're using docker, we had no great way to accomplish this sort of design. If you use `ziti-edge-tunnel` and want to have it intercept packets it works by making a TUN device but that needs to happen on the actual OS itself. That means everything on the machine will have access to that TUN and that's not what we wanted... > > Instead, `ziti-router` has a mode called `tproxy` that allows one to shuttle bytes to a process without the need for a TUN which means now we can use `ziti-router` within docker for strategic intercept-type modes but we could **also** use something like `ziti-edge-tunnel` in `host` mode (where it only offloads data) to offload data specifically for one (or more containers)... Could you give an example of a docker compose yaml file demonstrating this? I have a controller deployed in AWS and I want to set up a docker compose on my local machine with one container providing the network tunnel to another container running the open-webui for ollama. Following the docker tunneler docs, I can't get the ziti-host container to work at all. --- _[View the full topic](https://openziti.discourse.group/t/add-identity-to-new-conatiner-in-docker-compose-quickstart/2840)._
