Hi @cyberhead21,

some time ago, I have had similar issues with macvlan. I am running docker not via VirtualBox, but on a little PC in my network. There were 2 key learnings: the ethernet adaptor of the PC needed “promiscuous mode” as well and in my Unifi Switch, i needed to active a “trunk port”, so that all VLAN-IDs are available to the ethernet adapter of the PC.

This might help - or confuse you :slight_smile: : Ipvlan or macvlan in docker-compose.yml

Now, 3 years down the road, I would do my setup differently. I would not use macvlans, but I would use my pihole as DNS and the nginx proxy manager to route the traffic to the docker internal networks of my stacks. This way, SSL is much easier to achieve.
