# network connect
|
|
|
|
```markdown
|
|
Usage: docker network connect [OPTIONS] NETWORK CONTAINER
|
|
|
|
Connect a container to a network
|
|
|
|
Options:
|
|
--alias value Add network-scoped alias for the container (default [])
|
|
--help Print usage
|
|
--ip string IP Address
|
|
--ip6 string IPv6 Address
|
|
--link value Add link to another container (default [])
|
|
--link-local-ip value Add a link-local address for the container (default [])
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Connects a container to a network. You can connect a container by name
|
|
or by ID. Once connected, the container can communicate with other containers in
|
|
the same network.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ docker network connect multi-host-network container1
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can also use the `docker run --network=<network-name>` option to start a container and immediately connect it to a network.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ docker run -itd --network=multi-host-network busybox
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can specify the IP address you want to be assigned to the container's interface.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ docker network connect --ip 10.10.36.122 multi-host-network container2
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can use `--link` option to link another container with a preferred alias
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ docker network connect --link container1:c1 multi-host-network container2
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`--alias` option can be used to resolve the container by another name in the network
|
|
being connected to.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ docker network connect --alias db --alias mysql multi-host-network container2
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can pause, restart, and stop containers that are connected to a network.
|
|
Paused containers remain connected and can be revealed by a `network inspect`.
|
|
When the container is stopped, it does not appear on the network until you restart
|
|
it.
|
|
|
|
If specified, the container's IP address(es) is reapplied when a stopped
|
|
container is restarted. If the IP address is no longer available, the container
|
|
fails to start. One way to guarantee that the IP address is available is
|
|
to specify an `--ip-range` when creating the network, and choose the static IP
|
|
address(es) from outside that range. This ensures that the IP address is not
|
|
given to another container while this container is not on the network.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ docker network create --subnet 172.20.0.0/16 --ip-range 172.20.240.0/20 multi-host-network
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ docker network connect --ip 172.20.128.2 multi-host-network container2
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To verify the container is connected, use the `docker network inspect` command. Use `docker network disconnect` to remove a container from the network.
|
|
|
|
Once connected in network, containers can communicate using only another
|
|
container's IP address or name. For `overlay` networks or custom plugins that
|
|
support multi-host connectivity, containers connected to the same multi-host
|
|
network but launched from different Engines can also communicate in this way.
|
|
|
|
You can connect a container to one or more networks. The networks need not be the same type. For example, you can connect a single container bridge and overlay networks.
