$ docker run --link /redis:redis --name console ubuntu bash When you start a container use the `--net` flag to connect it to a network.
This adds the `busybox` container to the `mynet` network.

The `--link` flag will also just accept the form `<name or id>` in which case
the alias will match the name. For instance, you could have written the previous
example as:

$ docker run -t -i --rm --volumes-from web -w /var/log/httpd busybox tail -f access.log
This example shows five containers that might be set up to test a web
application change:
1. Start a pre-prepared volume image `static-web-files` (in the background)
that has CSS, image and static HTML in it, (with a `VOLUME` instruction in
the Dockerfile to allow the web server to use those files);
2. Start a pre-prepared `riakserver` image, give the container name `riak` and
expose port `8098` to any containers that link to it;
3. Start the `appserver` image, restricting its memory usage to 100MB, setting
two environment variables `DEVELOPMENT` and `BRANCH` and bind-mounting the
current directory (`$(pwd)`) in the container in read-only mode as `/app/bin`;
4. Start the `webserver`, mapping port `443` in the container to port `1443` on
the Docker server, setting the DNS server to `10.0.0.1` and DNS search
domain to `dev.org`, creating a volume to put the log files into (so we can
access it from another container), then importing the files from the volume
exposed by the `static` container, and linking to all exposed ports from
`riak` and `app`. Lastly, we set the hostname to `web.sven.dev.org` so its
consistent with the pre-generated SSL certificate;
5. Finally, we create a container that runs `tail -f access.log` using the logs
volume from the `web` container, setting the workdir to `/var/log/httpd`. The
`--rm` option means that when the container exits, the container's layer is
removed.

And we can use that information to connect from another container as a client:
$ docker run -i -t --rm --link redis-name:redis_alias --entrypoint /bin/bash dockerfiles/redis -c '/redis-stable/src/redis-cli -h $REDIS_ALIAS_PORT_6379_TCP_ADDR -p $REDIS_ALIAS_PORT_6379_TCP_PORT'
172.17.0.32:6379>
Docker will also map the private IP address to the alias of a linked
container by inserting an entry into `/etc/hosts`. You can use this
mechanism to communicate with a linked container by its alias:
$ docker run -d --name servicename busybox sleep 30
$ docker run -i -t --link servicename:servicealias busybox ping -c 1 servicealias
If you restart the source container (`servicename` in this case), the recipient
container's `/etc/hosts` entry will be automatically updated.
> **Note**:
> Unlike host entries in the `/etc/hosts` file, IP addresses stored in the
> environment variables are not automatically updated if the source container is
> restarted. We recommend using the host entries in `/etc/hosts` to resolve the
> IP address of linked containers.
