hi guys,
im trying to customize docker to start with the network i want and the bridge interface with the IP i want.

this is my environment:
Centos 7.3 1611
kernel: 3.10.0-514.26.1.el7.x86_64
Docker docker-ce-17.06.0.ce-1.el7.centos.x86_64

i created my daemon.json:
{
“bip”: “172.24.1.1/24”,
“fixed-cidr”: “172.24.0.0/16”,
“mtu”: 1500,
“default-gateway”: “172.24.1.1”,
“dns”: [“8.8.8.8”, “8.8.4.4”]
}

after the install i stoppped the docker and did the following in order to delete the previous docker0 interface:
iptables -t nat -F POSTROUTING
ip link set dev docker0 down
ip addr del 172.17.0.1/16 dev docker0

then i created a new one:
ip addr add 172.24.1.1/24 dev docker0
ip link set dev docker0 up

when i tried to start docker again ive got the following on the logs:
– Unit docker.service has begun starting up.

@lucadom72, I know it’s been a while, but is there any chance you could highlight your error / post a working daemon.json?

Many thanks.

You should post your fix here; don’t just say THAT it was fixed. That’s no help at all.
