LinuxQuestions.org - [SOLVED] Networks vs docker network command

Hello,
I have two YAML files like below:

Code:

version: '3.9'

  networks:

    PHP:

      driver: bridge

services:

        php-fpm:

...

And:

Code:

version: '3.9'

networks:

  Apache:

    external: true

    name: My_Net

services:

        httpd:

...

These containers can ping each other. If I remove the networks section from the above counters and use the following commands instead, are the two tasks the same?

Code:

# docker network create My_Net

# docker network connect My_Net php-fpm

# docker network connect My_Net httpd

I would be grateful if someone could clarify this issue.

Cheers.
