Docker compose ports are overridden once container is deployed

Is there an existing issue for this?

Current Behavior

The Prowlarr Web UI should listen on the port specified in the docker compose file.

Expected Behavior

The Prowlarr Web UI configuration file overrides the port specified in the docker compose file.

Steps To Reproduce

I want Prowlarr to listen on port 9697. So in my docker compose, I have this:

ports: - 9697:9697

However once the docker container is deployed, it defaults to port 9696 in config.xml:

<Port>9696</Port>

I edited config.xml to be 9697 and Prowlarr was then accessible via the Web UI.

Environment

- OS:Ubuntu

CPU architecture

x86-64

Docker creation

prowlarr:
    image: lscr.io/linuxserver/prowlarr:latest
    container_name: prowlarr
    environment:
      - PUID=1000
      - PGID=1000
      - TZ=Australia/Brisbane
    volumes:
      - /nas/config/prowlarr/config:/config
    networks:
      default:
        ipv4_address: 172.20.0.36
    ports:
      - 9697:9697
    restart: always

Map 9697:9696, don't edit the config

[tim-durrant]

This is fine with just one instance of Prowlarr. How would I edit the docker compose file for one Prowlarr listening on 9696 and a second Prowlarr listening on 9697?

9696:9696 on one and 9697:9696 on the other
