Hello,
I am trying to figure out how to address one container from another by name instead of IP using user-defined network and without linking.
I am running docker host on Windows 10 (version 1607) and the Docker is running in Beta mode (Version 1.13.1-beta42 (10069)).
A user-defined nat network was created, so the current networks are: nat
and prototype_net
where nat
configuration:
"Name": "nat",
"Id": "c37758225fa2b4f145366da416ed55a56c848404a10ca18760e911a7390f2cfa",
"Scope": "local",
"Driver": "nat",
"EnableIPv6": false,
"IPAM": {
"Driver": "windows",
"Options": null,
"Config": [
{
"Subnet": "172.25.128.0/20",
"Gateway": "172.25.128.1"
}
]
},
"Internal": false,
"Attachable": false,
"Containers": {},
"Options": {
"com.docker.network.windowsshim.hnsid": "8b526022-ca4a-47a0-985f-6757d6259cde",
"com.docker.network.windowsshim.networkname": "nat"
},
"Labels": {}
and the prototype_net
network settings are:
{
"Name": "prototype_net",
"Id": "10994e7c0d35e74529f7b0eab2d28a249d120f20f26d9fac1a08898db8ccf61f",
"Scope": "local",
"Driver": "nat",
"EnableIPv6": false,
"IPAM": {
"Driver": "windows",
"Options": {},
"Config": [
{
"Subnet": "172.25.132.0/24",
"Gateway": "172.25.132.1"
}
]
},
"Internal": false,
"Attachable": false,
"Containers": {
"604851979dbfb5202db4363edb9b22ba8e163830db044a5375c09cec9328245f": {
"Name": "minio",
"EndpointID": "709da4317fe60ebf8cbf7a132da60fc931991845ba2452cf739084f3ea0c4124",
"MacAddress": "00:15:5d:54:c5:c9",
"IPv4Address": "172.25.132.167/16",
"IPv6Address": ""
},
"6966b34f125db81a3665b6d22699d96899bf7df4ba464561bfae78223a38f56a": {
"Name": "viewer",
"EndpointID": "ee38bba754084c2338cf06ca23e2958a6f7854eaf32d85d9bd1a8db852ca845c",
"MacAddress": "00:15:5d:54:c2:2d",
"IPv4Address": "172.25.132.46/16",
"IPv6Address": ""
}
},
"Options": {
"com.docker.network.windowsshim.hnsid": "40e426c1-b074-400a-b063-8cfbb6937a3e",
"com.docker.network.windowsshim.networkname": "prototype1_net"
},
"Labels": {}
}
The prototype_net
has two containers attached to it: viewer
and minio
. However, when I ping minio
from viewer
or vise versa I fail.
I started both containers with --network-alias
argument to be the same as --name
argument.
