If you are running a firewall similar to the one I discussed earlier you might expect that the containers started with Docker would also be forced to use that VPN but you’d be wrong. When you start a number of services with Docker Compose it will, by default, create a new bridge network for you with a name based on the name of your project. with Docker run) it goes into the default bridge network. By default when a single container is started (e.g. Docker networks are, or at least can be, complicated. The solution discussed in that post is fine if you are only dealing with regular applications but when you are dealing with containers the world is a difference place.

link= nauseous_aryabhata argument, it will receive a whole bunch of environmental variables, as well as additional entry in Now, if I start the second container with
name parameter, so Docker intervened and called my container nauseous_aryabhata. But it still works, nobody watches, so why not.Įvery container has a name – either explicitly specified, or auto generated. use container name and user-defined network.If we’re building distributed application, we need something more predictable. Order in which containers start, moving container to another network, network settings itself – anything can change the IP. You see, the fact that today my nginx container listens at 172.17.0.2 doesn’t mean that tomorrow it will stay this way. Now, talking from container to another container by its IP address is not a problem. The following example demonstrates that: nginx container acts as a private web server, and busybox talks to it. p80 : 80 ), but internal connections – no questions asked. You have to do an extra effort to allow inbound connections initiated from host network (e.g. It’s also OK to connect container to several networks withĭocker network attach . Cool thing is that unless you messed with Docker configuration, all containers within the same Docker network can see and talk to each other. ‘bridge’ is default network for all containers, but you can specify target network while starting container. It also has its own networks and comes with three of those, named: Images and containers are not the only things that Docker creates. So idea is simple, but there’s one thing. How exactly those containers will communicate? How do they even find each other? container, serving data through some sort of RESTful API.įirst container opens 80th port and, while serving html/css/js by himself, talks to the second container when data request comes.container, serving static web content, and.Having an app running from within Docker container is fun, that’s for sure. But do you know what would be even more fun? Many apps running from within containers and talking to each other. Imagine that after playing enough with microservices, you finally decided to split some real monolithic web application into:
