Docker Quick Networking Guide

Below is a list of commands related to the Docker network.

Some of these command options are only configurable when the Docker service is started and will not take effect immediately.

• -b BRIDGE or --bridge=BRIDGE specifies the bridge to which the container is mounted
• --bip=CIDR custom masker0 mask
• -H SOCKET... or --host=SOCKET... Channel for the Docker server to receive commands
• --icc=true|false Whether communication between containers is supported
• --ip-forward=true|false Please see the communication between the containers below
• --iptables=true|false you allow Docker to add iptables rules?
• --mtu=BYTES MTU in the –mtu=BYTES container network
  

The following two command options can be specified either when starting the service or when starting the container. Specifying the Docker service when it is started will become the default value, and the default value of the setting can be overwritten when the docker run is executed later.

• --dns=IP_ADDRESS... Use the specified DNS server
• --dns-search=DOMAIN... Specify the DNS search domain
  

Finally, these options are only used when the docker run executed because it is specific to the container’s properties.

• -h HOSTNAME or --hostname=HOSTNAME configuration container hostname
• --link=CONTAINER_NAME:ALIAS adds a connection to another container
• --net=bridge|none|container:NAME_or_ID|host configures the bridge mode of the container
• -p SPEC or --publish=SPEC maps the container port to the host host
• -P or --publish-all=true|false maps all ports of the container to the host
