Network
Usage
When access to another containers is required, it is better to create a custom network.
The main advantage is that containers can not only communicate by IP address, but can also resolve a container name to an IP address.
shell
docker network COMMAND| Command | Description |
|---|---|
connect | Connect a container to a network. |
create | Create a network. |
ls | List networks. |
rm | Remove one or more networks. |
prune | Remove all unused networks. |
Available drivers
| Driver | Description |
|---|---|
bridge | Default driver. Used when your applications run in standalone containers that need to communicate. |
host | Remove network isolation between the container and the Docker host, and use the host’s networking directly. |
overlay | Connect multiple Docker daemons together and enable swarm services to communicate with each other. |
macvlan | Allow you to assign a MAC address to a container, making it appear as a physical device on your network. |
none | Disable all networking. |
Example
shell
docker network create --driver bridge test-net
docker network rm test-net
