How to access between containers in docker

We all know that docker containers are isolated from each other and cannot access each other, but what should we do if there are some dependent services. The following describes three methods to solve the problem of container mutual access.

Method 1, virtual ip access

When installing docker, docker will create an internal bridge network docker0 by default. Each container created is assigned a virtual network card, and the containers can access each other based on ip. .

[root@33fcf82ab4dd /]# [root@CentOS ~]# ifconfig ...... docker0: flags=4163 mtu 1500 inet 172.17.0.1 netmask 255.255.0.0 broadcast 0.0.0.0 inet6 fe80::42:35ff:feac:66d8 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x20 ether 02:42:35:ac:66:d8 txqueuelen 0 (Ethernet) RX packets 4018 bytes 266467 (260.2 KiB) RX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 frame 0 TX packets 4226 bytes 33935667 (32.3 MiB) TX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0 ......

Method 2, link

Add parameter link when running the container

Run the first container

docker run -it --name centos-1 docker.io/centos:latest

Run the second container

[root@CentOS ~]# docker run -it --name centos-2 --link centos-1:centos-1 docker.io/centos:latest

--link: The first centos-1 in the parameter is the container name, and the second centos-1 is the defined container alias (use the alias to access the container). For ease of use, generally the alias defaults to the container name.

The test results are as follows:

[root@e0841aa13c5b /]# ping centos-1 PING centos-1 (172.17.0.7) 56(84) bytes of data. bytes from centos-1 (172.17.0.7): icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.210 ms bytes from centos-1 (172.17.0.7): icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=0.116 ms bytes from centos-1 (172.17.0.7): icmp_seq=3 ttl=64 time=0.112 ms bytes from centos-1 (172.17.0.7): icmp_seq=4 ttl=64 time=0.114 ms

Method 3. Create a bridge network

1. After installing docker, run the following command to create a bridge network: docker network create testnet

Query the newly created bridge testnet.

#2. Run the container and connect to the testnet network.

Usage: docker run -it --name ---network --network-alias

[root@CentOS ~]# docker run -it --name centos-1 --network testnet --network-alias centos-1 docker.io/centos:latest [root@CentOS ~]# docker run -it --name centos-2 --network testnet --network-alias centos-2 docker.io/centos:latest

3. Ping from one container to another container, the test results are as follows:

[root@fafe2622f2af /]# ping centos-1 PING centos-1 (172.20.0.2) 56(84) bytes of data. bytes from centos-1.testnet (172.20.0.2): icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.158 ms bytes from centos-1.testnet (172.20.0.2): icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=0.108 ms bytes from centos-1.testnet (172.20.0.2): icmp_seq=3 ttl=64 time=0.112 ms bytes from centos-1.testnet (172.20.0.2): icmp_seq=4 ttl=64 time=0.113 ms
