Docker Networking

To do input/output with a detached container use network connections or shared volumes.

By default, all containers have networking enabled and they can make any outgoing connections. The operator can completely disable networking with docker run --network none which disables all incoming and outgoing networking. In cases like this, you would perform I/O through files or STDIN and STDOUT only.

Network Settings

--dns=[]           : Set custom dns servers for the container
--network="bridge" : Connect a container to a network
                      'bridge': create a network stack on the default Docker bridge
                      'none': no networking
                      'container:<name|id>': reuse another container's network stack
                      'host': use the Docker host network stack
                      '<network-name>|<network-id>': connect to a user-defined network
--network-alias=[] : Add network-scoped alias for the container
--add-host=""      : Add a line to /etc/hosts (host:IP)
--mac-address=""   : Sets the container's Ethernet device's MAC address
--ip=""            : Sets the container's Ethernet device's IPv4 address
--ip6=""           : Sets the container's Ethernet device's IPv6 address
--link-local-ip=[] : Sets one or more container's Ethernet device's link local IPv4/IPv6 addresses
