'''Bridge networks''' are a type of networks used by `dockerd(8)`.
Line 11: Line 13:
All containers are attached to a network. If one is not specified, the default network is used. This network is special in that there is no name resolution; the only way to communicate between containers is their ephemeral IP addresses. By default, containers attach to bridge networks. See [[Docker/Networking|here]] to change that.

If a bridge network is not specified, the '''default network''' is used. This network is special in that there is no name resolution; the only way to communicate between containers is their ephemeral IP addresses.

Furthermore, the default network's use of [[Protocols/IP|IPv6]] mandatorily matches the `dockerd(8)` configuration. See [[Docker/Configuration#IPv6|here]] to enable it.
Line 19: Line 25:
Custom bridge networks can be created and destroyed like:

{{{
docker network create my-net
docker network rm my-net
}}}

A container can be created on a custom network by specifying the `--network` option.

{{{
docker run --interactive --tty --detach --name my-busybox \
  --network=my-net \
  busybox:latest

Default Network

By default, containers attach to bridge networks. See here to change that.

If a bridge network is not specified, the default network is used. This network is special in that there is no name resolution; the only way to communicate between containers is their ephemeral IP addresses.

Furthermore, the default network's use of IPv6 mandatorily matches the dockerd(8) configuration. See here to enable it.

Creating Networks

Custom bridge networks can be created and destroyed like: 

docker network create my-net
docker network rm my-net

A container can be created on a custom network by specifying the --network option. 

docker run --interactive --tty --detach --name my-busybox \
  --network=my-net \
  busybox:latest
