Interface doesn't come up in docker run

Docker Engine General

I’m starting a docker container with my own network configuration:

[root@localhost ~]# docker run --net=none \ 
--lxc-conf="lxc.network.type=veth" \
--lxc-conf="lxc.network.ipv4=10.0.0.100/24" \
--lxc-conf="lxc.network.ipv4.gateway=10.0.0.1" \
--lxc-conf="lxc.network.link=br0" \
--lxc-conf="lxc.network.name=eth0" \
--lxc-conf="lxc.network.flags=up" \
-i -t --rm centos /bin/bash

But as you can see, eth0 doesn’t up at all:

[root@70a7109e7ecd /]# ip addr list
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN
    link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00  
    inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
    inet6 ::1/128 scope host
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
[root@70a7109e7ecd /]# exit
exit

What’s wrong with my docker run command?

Hello,

Could you share what exec driver you are using?

You should be able to find that by doing docker info at the command line, and looking at Execution Driver:.

If it is anything other than the LXC execdriver, would explain why your --lxc-conf options are not taking effect.

Hi Jeff,

Thanks for your reply. This is my docker info:

[root@localhost ~]# docker info

So how to install the LXC execdriver?

You might find http://docs.docker.com/reference/commandline/cli/#docker-exec-driver-option useful :slight_smile:

I have also raised this as an issue in the docker repo - https://github.com/docker/docker/issues/10376
