Customizing subnet of bridge network

Expected behavior

Want to be able to specify --bip for docker on mac. I am trying to access machine on a VPN which is in the 172.17.0.0/16 set of IP addresses that is the default for docker for mac beta.

Hi,
According to what I saw lately, you should be able to do it with the following:
pinata get daemon > docker-daemon.json
edit docker-daemon.json and add '“bip”:""'
i.e.
{"storage-driver":"aufs","debug":true,"bip":"10.0.0.0/16"}

then, pinata set daemon @docker-daemon.json
unfortunately, locally, the command hangs

pinata diagnose

in docker logs, I see:

Maybe something wrong on my computer, worth trying it and rollback with the same pinata set but without ‘bip’ if it does not work

I hadn’t even noticed that option. I ran into the same issue with setting bip but I was able to use fixed-cidr to solve my VPN routing issue (i don’t get the difference between the bridge IP and the fixed-cidr).

Thank you for the suggestion

With pinata gone in the latest beta, and the --bip option not moved to the docker gui, how can I solve this problem now?

Even if it is on the gui later, we definitely need a cli option so we can script it.
