Inspect command is used to get low level information about all the running docker containers in the host machine. Knowing these, we will now see the different methods that can be used to find out the IP address of a docker container in a network. The default subnet for a docker network is 172.17.0.0/16. This also means that each container in the docker network is assigned an IP address. sudo docker network lsĮach network of containers has a subnet mask and can be used to distribute IP addresses to its containers. Run the following command to get a list of networks. When you want containers to talk to each other, the network they create can be assumed to be a bridge network. We will link apache2 and mysql-server containers using docker command line tools.We all know that we can run our application in a packaged environment called container using Docker. Let us understand container linking and port exposure by an example.
Docker0 bridge allows port mapping and linking to allow communication among containers or communication between container and host.Ĭommunication between containers is managed at operating system level and it depends on two factors: To ensure communication via container names, these containers are needed to linked with each other in a one way or another. However they cannot resolve container names so communication via container names is not possible.
Take a note that all containers within the same bridge network can communicate with each other via IP addresses. Bridge NetworkĪs mentioned earlier, docker containers are attached to bridge or docker0 network by default if no other network is mentioned.
#DOCKER IP ADDRESS OF ANOTHER CONTAIER DRIVERS#
With the help of default network drivers being provided, we can create following networks:Īlthough, here we will keep our discussion limited to default bridge network. We can create our own network and to control which containers can communicate with each other, and also to enable automatic DNS resolution of container names to IP addresses. For instance, if you run a container that runs a web server on port 80 using host networking, the web server is available on port 80 of the host machine.Īpart from these builtin networks, there are also user-defined networks. As far as the network is concerned, there is no isolation between the host machine and the container. The host network adds a container on the host’s network stack.This is utilised for internal communication between containers being isolated to outside network. A container can be attached to none network. None network is generally known as container specific network.If not mentioned otherwise, all docker containers are created within docker0 network. Bridge network is default networks that comes with all docker installation.Lets take a brief overview about these networks
