Service names in multiple docker-compose projects locally

Traefik Traefik v2
6

I'm trying to do the same thing as you and have been unsuccessful... Getting cross talk between docker-compose projects and it is hard to debug.

If I add the traefik.docker.network name, then I get logs say it skips container because field not found (doesn't quite make sense to me):

time="2021-03-24T11:05:58Z" level=error msg="Skip container service-COMPOSE_PROJECT_NAME: field not found, node: network:{NETWORK}" providerName=docker

Anyway, your networks field shows the network that is local to the docker-compose file. Wouldn't it be, according to your example:

networks:
  shared-network-with-traefik:
    external:
      name: something-else

And something-else would also be added externally in the main networking field of traefik's docker-compose? Currently it seems shared-network-with-traefik is the name of the network that is local to that project's docker-compose file...

Also, any other progress on getting total separation & concurrent use of multiple docker-compose files w/ 1 traefik instance - would be very useful to hear about :slight_smile:
Thanks!

NOTE: variable names in log output are evaluated correctly.
