How can I set a static ip for the Xibo container?

The ip address is in the 172.20.0.xxx range and I want to change it to the 192.168.70.xxx range.

Docker uses its own dynamic IP addresses for containers. You give access to just the ports that the CMS needs on the host machine IP address. The docker-compose files that we provide do this by default. There should be no need to access the container IP address directly.
