I'm a beginner and I'm trying to give my Docker container its own IP address on my home network using ipvlan. However, I'm struggling to find proper instructions or documentation on how to set this up in my docker-compose.yml file. Am I on the right track, or is there a better way to approach this?

I tried adding those options to my compose file too, but I noticed the container was still reachable through the host's IP. I don’t quite get the difference between ipvlan and macvlan. If ipvlan doesn't utilize a mac address in the usual way, how does it link an IP to a device on a router? Also, when the docs mention "network," are they talking about the network driver? If I’m just assigning an IP, how does that set up an entire network? Sorry for bombarding you with questions, but I'm feeling a little confused!
You're on the right path! The Docker documentation for ipvlan is a good start, but it's scattered around. You can check out the ipvlan driver options [here](https://docs.docker.com/engine/network/drivers/ipvlan/) and see how to format it in your compose file [here](https://docs.docker.com/reference/compose-file/networks/#attributes). If you’re looking for alternatives, macvlan is quite similar to ipvlan, so see if that might work better for you. Depending on your situation, also consider host mode networking or reverse proxies for managing your IPs better.
