How docker containers call each other

Method introduction:

Add the parameter link when running the container.

The specific steps are as follows:

1. Run the first container

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

2. Run the second container

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

Parameter introduction:

--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

Note: This method has requirements on the order in which containers are created. If multiple containers within the cluster need to access each other, it will be inconvenient to use.
