Note here the use of -I POSTROUTING, which places the rule at the POSTROUTING chain to modify the source address: # iptables -t nat -I POSTROUTING -s $(docker-ip web) \ We can fix that my adding a SNAT rule to the System, that connection would appear to originate with ip address of If our container were to initiate a network connection with another It’s destination set to the address of our docker container ( -j DNAT -to-destination 172.17.0.4:80).įrom a host elsewhere on the network, we can now access the web server Originating on the docker0 bridge ( ! -i docker0) destined for This matches traffic TO our target address ( -d 10.12.0.117/32) not Will also create the following rule in the nat table DOCKERĬhain (which is run from the PREROUTING chain): -A DOCKER -d 10.12.0.117/32 ! -i docker0 -p tcp -m tcp

This uses the standard Docker network model combined with NAT rules on In order to make this convenient, drop the following into a scriptĬalled docker-pid, place it somewhere on your PATH, and make itĮxec docker inspect -format '' now we can get the ip address of a container like this: $ docker-ip web In this article we will often refer to the PID of a docker container. If you don’t have that handy, there is aĬonvenient Docker recipe to build it for you at jpetazzo/nsenter That my utils-linux package is recent enough to include the I am running Fedora 20 with Docker 1.1.2. We are creating a Docker container that we In the following examples, we have a host with address 10.12.0.76 on Other than a technology demonstration, you might look to the pipework script, which can automate many of these configurations. If you were actually going to use one of these solutions as anything These are not suggested as practical solutions, butĪre meant to illustrate some of the underlying network technology This article discusses four ways to make a Docker container appear onĪ local network. I’ve written an article about working with the macvlan Supported mechanism for direct connectivity to a local layer 2
