`network_mode` sets a service container's network mode.

- `bridge`: Connects the container to Docker's default bridge network instead of
a project-specific network. Containers on the default bridge network cannot
resolve each other by service name . Instead, use a user-defined network for DNS resolution.
- `none`: Turns off all container networking.
- `host`: Gives the container raw access to the host's network interface.
- `service:{name}`: Gives the container access to the specified container by referring to its service name.
