Network containers

　　If you are working your way through the user guide, you just built and ran a simple application. You’ve also built in your own images. This section teaches you how to network your containers.

Launch a container on the default network
　　Docker includes support for networking containers through the use of network drivers. By default, Docker provides two network drivers for you, the bridge and the overlay drivers. You can also write a network driver plugin so that you can create your own drivers but that is an advanced task.
　　Every installation of the Docker Engine automatically includes three default networks. You can list them:



$ docker network ls
NETWORK ID          NAME                DRIVER
18a2866682b8        none                null
c288470c46f6        host                host
7b369448dccb        bridge              bridge

　　The network named bridge is a special network. Unless you tell it otherwise, Docker always launches your containers in this network. Try this now:



$ docker run -itd --name=networktest ubuntu
74695c9cea6d9810718fddadc01a727a5dd3ce6a69d09752239736c030599741

　　Inspecting the network is an easy way to find out the container’s IP address.



$ docker network inspect bridge
[
{
"Name": "bridge",
"Id": "f7ab26d71dbd6f557852c7156ae0574bbf62c42f539b50c8ebde0f728a253b6f",
"Scope": "local",
"Driver": "bridge",
"IPAM": {
"Driver": "default",
"Config": [
{
"Subnet": "172.17.0.1/16",
"Gateway": "172.17.0.1"
}
]
},
"Containers": {
"3386a527aa08b37ea9232cbcace2d2458d49f44bb05a6b775fba7ddd40d8f92c": {
"EndpointID": "647c12443e91faf0fd508b6edfe59c30b642abb60dfab890b4bdccee38750bc1",
"MacAddress": "02:42:ac:11:00:02",
"IPv4Address": "172.17.0.2/16",
"IPv6Address": ""
},
"94447ca479852d29aeddca75c28f7104df3c3196d7b6d83061879e339946805c": {
"EndpointID": "b047d090f446ac49747d3c37d63e4307be745876db7f0ceef7b311cbba615f48",
"MacAddress": "02:42:ac:11:00:03",
"IPv4Address": "172.17.0.3/16",
"IPv6Address": ""
}
},
"Options": {
"com.docker.network.bridge.default_bridge": "true",
"com.docker.network.bridge.enable_icc": "true",
"com.docker.network.bridge.enable_ip_masquerade": "true",
"com.docker.network.bridge.host_binding_ipv4": "0.0.0.0",
"com.docker.network.bridge.name": "docker0",
"com.docker.network.driver.mtu": "9001"
}
}
]

　　You can remove a container from a network by disconnecting the container. To do this, you supply both the network name and the container name. You can also use the container id. In this example, though, the name is faster.



$ docker network disconnect bridge networktest

　　While you can disconnect a container from a network, you cannot remove the builtin bridge network named bridge. Networks are natural ways to isolate containers from other containers or other networks. So, as you get more experienced with Docker, you’ll want to create your own networks.

Create your own bridge network
　　Docker Engine natively supports both bridge networks and overlay networks. A bridge network is limited to a single host running Docker Engine. An overlay network can include multiple hosts and is a more advanced topic. For this example, you’ll create a bridge network:



$ docker network create -d bridge my-bridge-network

　　The -d flag tells Docker to use the bridge driver for the new network. You could have left this flag off as bridge is the default value for this flag. Go ahead and list the networks on your machine:



$ docker network ls
NETWORK ID          NAME                DRIVER
7b369448dccb        bridge              bridge
615d565d498c        my-bridge-network   bridge
18a2866682b8        none                null
c288470c46f6        host                host

　　If you inspect the network, you’ll find that it has nothing in it.



$ docker network inspect my-bridge-network
[
{
"Name": "my-bridge-network",
"Id": "5a8afc6364bccb199540e133e63adb76a557906dd9ff82b94183fc48c40857ac",
"Scope": "local",
"Driver": "bridge",
"IPAM": {
"Driver": "default",
"Config": [
{
"Subnet": "172.18.0.0/16",
"Gateway": "172.18.0.1/16"
}
]
},
"Containers": {},
"Options": {}
}
]

Add containers to a network
　　To build web applications that act in concert but do so securely, create a network. Networks, by definition, provide complete isolation for containers. You can add containers to a network when you first run a container.
　　Launch a container running a PostgreSQL database and pass it the --net=my-bridge-network flag to connect it to your new network:



$ docker run -d --net=my-bridge-network --name db training/postgres

　　If you inspect your my-bridge-network you’ll see it has a container attached. You can also inspect your container to see where it is connected:



$ docker inspect --format='{{json .NetworkSettings.Networks}}'  db

{"my-bridge-network":{"NetworkID":"7d86d31b1478e7cca9ebed7e73aa0fdeec46c5ca29497431d3007d2d9e15ed99",
"EndpointID":"508b170d56b2ac9e4ef86694b0a76a22dd3df1983404f7321da5649645bf7043","Gateway":"172.18.0.1","IPAddress":"172.18.0.2","IPPrefixLen":16,"IPv6Gateway":"","GlobalIPv6Address":"","GlobalIPv6PrefixLen":0,"MacAddress":"02:42:ac:11:00:02"}}

　　Now, go ahead and start your by now familiar web application. This time don’t specify a network.



$ docker run -d --name web training/webapp python app.py

　　Which network is your web application running under? Inspect the application and you’ll find it is running in the default bridge network.



$ docker inspect --format='{{json .NetworkSettings.Networks}}'  web

{"bridge":{"NetworkID":"7ea29fc1412292a2d7bba362f9253545fecdfa8ce9a6e37dd10ba8bee7129812",
"EndpointID":"508b170d56b2ac9e4ef86694b0a76a22dd3df1983404f7321da5649645bf7043","Gateway":"172.17.0.1","IPAddress":"172.17.0.2","IPPrefixLen":16,"IPv6Gateway":"","GlobalIPv6Address":"","GlobalIPv6PrefixLen":0,"MacAddress":"02:42:ac:11:00:02"}}

　　Then, get the IP address of your web



$ docker inspect --format='{{range .NetworkSettings.Networks}}{{.IPAddress}}{{end}}' web

172.17.0.2

　　Now, open a shell to your running db container:



$ docker exec -it db bash
root@a205f0dd33b2:/# ping 172.17.0.2
ping 172.17.0.2
PING 172.17.0.2 (172.17.0.2) 56(84) bytes of data.
^C
--- 172.17.0.2 ping statistics ---
44 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 43185ms

　　After a bit, use CTRL-C to end the ping and you’ll find the ping failed. That is because the two containers are running on different networks. You can fix that. Then, use the exit command to close the container.
　　Docker networking allows you to attach a container to as many networks as you like. You can also attach an already running container. Go ahead and attach your running web app to the my-bridge-network.



$ docker network connect my-bridge-network web

　　Open a shell into the db application again and try the ping command. This time just use the container name web rather than the IP Address.



$ docker exec -it db bash
root@a205f0dd33b2:/# ping web
PING web (172.18.0.3) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from web (172.18.0.3): icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.095 ms
64 bytes from web (172.18.0.3): icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=0.060 ms
64 bytes from web (172.18.0.3): icmp_seq=3 ttl=64 time=0.066 ms
^C
--- web ping statistics ---
3 packets transmitted, 3 received, 0% packet loss, time 2000ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.060/0.073/0.095/0.018 ms

　　The ping shows it is contacting a different IP address, the address on the my-bridge-network which is different from its address on the bridge network.
