Network bridge on host

Docker Desktop for Mac
1

After reading all the related forum threads, i still don’t get it: do docker mac beta is supposed to set a docker0 bridge interface on the osx host, like it does on linux, so that containers are directly available from host via their local network ip ?

Or this bridge is only set/available on the alpine vm itself ?

Currently the only way to access containers is by exposing a port.
See https://beta.docker.com/docs/mac/getting-started/#step-3-explore-the-application-and-run-examples. There is no docker0 on the Mac.

Then how can I access VPN? Can you please guide me?

When a container configured for network_mode: host in docker-compose, for example, I can’t expose ports as usually adviced. What else can I do?

For those who haven’t yet got a working solution for this, I have created a shim workaround for this issue in this project. It behaves the exact same as the hvint0 interface on Windows

More details can be found here:

Honestly the fact this issue hasn’t been fixed is ridiculous so I plan to make some waves with this package. Request to update docs here:
