Edit 2020-10-28: Update docker-compose to v1.27.0+ and you might be able to use IPAM config in a v3 compose file (Link) Docker Compose v3+ does not support IPAM configuration (gateway, ip_range, aux_addresses) of macvlan networks.

It was harder than expected to find a tool to convert HEIC images to JPEG/JPG images, but per usual, I was able to find an open source tool that did this better than a lot of proprietary solutions. The big gotcha with this operation is that a lot of the conversion tools do NOT copy […]
