I know there are several similar questions, but none seems to work for me. I’ve scoured the internet for answer for two days. I have following situation: VM host (VMware ESXI 5.5) with centos 7, running Docker 17.06. Two docker containers, running an app. Developers need to access that app via IP i…

so do I get it correctly : u want to access dockerized server by second out-of-docker client application that u now develop and that application is on non-docker network (10.11.x.y) - correct ?

do i need to create a macvlan interface in the host ?

I created new virtual machine on my laptop and turned on the promiscuous mode, but the macvlan driver still didn’t work for me.

Thanks for explanations - now I have less questions: 1 Maybe you do not need to ask the host for IP and port - If you have connected there you already know it 2 Even if you must ask, containerized application can correctly advertise published address- the simplest brute force approach is to pass …
