docker-host's Introduction

docker-host

Docker image to forward all traffic to the docker host

uses dns entry host.docker.internal if available
or default gateway as docker host

Docker Example - Link

Run the dockerhost container.

docker run --name 'dockerhost' \
  --cap-add=NET_ADMIN --cap-add=NET_RAW \
  --restart on-failure \
  qoomon/docker-host

Run your application container and link the dockerhost container. The dockerhost will be reachable through the domain/link dockerhost of the dockerhost container e.g. dockerhost:8080 This example uses curl as an application dummy.

docker run --name dummy \
  --link 'dockerhost' 
  appropriate/curl 'http://dockerhost8080'

Docker Example - Network

Create the dockerhost network.

network_name="Network-$RANDOM"
docker network create "$network_name"

Run the dockerhost container within the dockerhost network.

docker run --name "${network_name}-dockerhost" \
  --cap-add=NET_ADMIN --cap-add=NET_RAW \
  --restart on-failure \
  --net=${network_name} --network-alias 'dockerhost' \
  qoomon/docker-host

Run your application container within the dockerhost network. The dockerhost will be reachable through the domain/network-alias dockerhost of the dockerhost container e.g. dockerhost:8080 This example uses curl as an application dummy.

docker run --name dummy \
  --net=${network_name} \
  appropriate/curl 'http://dockerhost:8080'

Docker Compose Example

version: '2'

services:
    dockerhost:
        image: qoomon/docker-host
        cap_add: [ 'NET_ADMIN', 'NET_RAW' ]
        mem_limit: 4M
        restart: on-failure
    dummy:
        depends_on: [ dockerhost ]
        image: appropriate/curl
        command: ["http://dockerhost8080"]
