Linking with docker-compose fails

Docker Desktop for Mac
1

Expected behavior

Restarting containers (consul) should have no impact on the cluster.

Actual behavior

Restarting containers that are linked fails and containers are down.

Steps to reproduce the behavior

compose file:

node1:
  image: progrium/consul
  command: -server -bootstrap-expect 3

node2:
  image: progrium/consul
  command: -server -join node1
  links:
    - node1

node3:
  container_name: node3
  image: progrium/consul
  command: -server -join node1
  links:
    - node1
  1. docker-compose up (might fail)
  2. docker restart consul_server2 or docker restart consul_server3
  3. Restarted container won’t connect with consul_server1
  4. node3 | ==> lookup consul_server1: no such host

Using hardcoded consul_server1 ip works fine, you can restart linked containers without any issues.

It’ll work for:

node1:
  image: progrium/consul
  command: -server -bootstrap-expect 3

node2:
  image: progrium/consul
  command: -server -join 172.17.0.2
  links:
    - node1

node3:
  container_name: node3
  image: progrium/consul
  command: -server -join 172.17.0.2
  links:
    - node1
