Expected behavior

Expecting the same thing as Docker Toolbox version 1.11:
docker run --rm -it --net host debian:jessie hostname --ip-address
127.0.0.1

Actual behavior

$ docker run --rm -it --net host debian:jessie hostname --ip-address
hostname: Name or service not known

Why are you doing this exactly? I don’t think this is guaranteed to work in any setup, and the --ip-address option to hostname is marked as deprecated. Maybe can suggest a more portable method if I knew what you wanted this for.

Hi Justin,
We’re using host networking for Cassandra containers and using this to set CASSANDRA_LISTEN_ADDRESS
I can see this may be problematic for a variety of reasons so if you can advise as to preferred robust mechanism for determining IP address(es) when host networking is used we will convert to that.
Thanks!
