Publish docker-compose ephemeral port with ip address

In docker-compose you can specify ports like 1234 in order to publish it on an ephemeral port, and like 127.0.0.1:1234:1234 to publish it on a specific interface.

However, is there a way to use an ephemeral port on a specific interface?

There appears to be no --ip option to docker-compose up like there is for docker run.

Unless i am mistaken I assume you want to publish on a specific interface with ephemeral port - in a random way - you can use this in your docker-compose.yml

ports:
  - "127.0.0.1::1234"

Or if you don't need to specify an interface and just want an ephemeral port you can use this:

ports:
  - "1234"

In both scenarios this makes the container listen on a random port mapped to a specific port (e.g. 1234) inside the container similar to what -P would do in docker run

To set an ip for container in docker-compose you can use the following to make it work similar to --ip in docker run, assuming you have a custom network called my_network

networks:
  my_network:
    ipv4_address: 172.20.1.5
