The host option is used to make the interface look like they are running on the host itself

The container option containerizes the containers networking

host

host connect

It allows the Virtual Network Interface greater network access than it can normally get.

If you use 'host' then you’ll get all ports listening on the host.

This means you will have to monitor the services you run closely (especially if it’s not yours, e.g. an official one provided by a software project) to make sure you don’t inadvertently expose extra services to the network.

With this option you can access the other participants in the network and vice versa from your computer

container

container connect

A container option is used to isolate the services from the outside world

With this option you can NOT access the other participants in the network and vice versa from your computer
