Post install, but before a container was created, here is the output of my Ubuntu machine. Two interfaces: eth3 (192.168.1.134) and lo (127.0.0.1). This Ubuntu machine is running in virtual box and eth3 is bridged onto my home network of 192.168.1.0/24.
- No inbound connections are permitted by default
- You can in fact remove docker0 and use your own bridge.
- Because you don't need to use docker0, it should be fairly *easy* to integrate with network virtualization solution that use a different bridge like ‘br-int’ as I talked about here.
- Cloud Management Platforms such as OpenStack would just need to support Docker to give the right information to ‘neutron-server’ such as MAC address, port, IP, etc. in order to properly configure required overlay tunnels and interfaces
- Follow this link for more advanced networking with docker. There is plenty more that has already been documented by Docker.
Below shows two more screen shots creating a second container and the testing of its network connectivity. Because the container image was already downloaded, this container was literally created in under a second.
The goal here was to give a very high level overview of networking with Docker although there is plenty more that can be done. In the future, I would like to test with OVS custom bridges and get more creative with the L2/L3 designs, but there is only so much time in the day! Stay tuned for more!
Thanks,
Jason
