Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/open-webui/terminals/issues/25

My docker-compose setup has the LLM stack working in a specific, predefined docker network, which now includes terminals. However terminals is seemingly unaware of this, and will create a new docker instance in the default network.

Is there a way to let terminals know which network it's supposed to use when spinning up new containers?

Hi @arp-mbender, you can use the TERMINALS_NETWORK environment variable to set a predefined Docker network for terminals containers to end up in.
