How to get container's ip on bridge network - docker

Question

I am deploying a mariadb cluster like this.
(host) $ cat docker-compose.yaml
version: '3.6'
services:
parent:
image: erkules/galera
command: ["--wsrep-cluster-name=local-test", "--wsrep-cluster-address=gcomm://"]
hostname: parent
child:
image: erkules/galera
command: ["--wsrep-cluster-name=local-test", "--wsrep-cluster-address=gcomm://parent"]
depends_on:
- parent
deploy:
replicas: 5
(host) $ sudo docker stack deploy --compose-file docker-compose.yaml mariadb
Now I am trying to find the ips of the containers within the bridge network, so that I can try the connect to the db servers from host machine. I can find like this,
(host) $ docker exec $(docker ps -q | head -n 1) /sbin/ip a
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default qlen 1000
link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo

valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
182: eth1#if183: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UP group default
link/ether 02:42:ac:13:00:08 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff link-netnsid 1
inet 172.19.0.8/16 brd 172.19.255.255 scope global eth1
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
(host) $ mysql -h 172.19.0.8 -u root
Welcome to the MariaDB monitor. ...
But I have to do some dirty parsing. So I am wondering if there is an elegant way to get this using only docker provided commands. Example, for ips in the overlay network, we can use inspect command to get a json output.
(host) $ docker ps -q | xargs docker inspect --format '{{range .NetworkSettings.Networks}}{{.IPAddress}}{{end}} {{ .Id }}'

Edit1: I want to keep the deploying part as general as possible. I don't want to publish ports. Then I have to assign a different port to every single container.
Edit2: Apparently, for multi-host swarm overlay network, Docker uses docker_gwbridge interface.
So I can do docker network inspect docker_gwbridge to get the ips for each container.

Answer 1

Generally, when we use compose, the order of our docker-compose.yml containers id, take .2... .3 .... etc.
So, try creating a network (docker create network...) and put at the last of your docker-compose.yml por example:
rabbitmq:
ports:
- "8201:8080"
volumes:
- /share:/share
container_name: rabbitmq-int1
hostname: rabbitmq-int1
cpu_shares: 10
mem_limit: 2000000000
networks:
compose_net:
ipv4_address: 172.12.0.3
networks:
compose_net:
external:
name: network_compose
Where "network_compose" is the network previously created in Host/Server (docker create network...)

Answer 2

This command show your network details, contain list containers join in your network and their IP. Hope this helpfull
docker network ls // To get list network running -> get network id
docker network inspect network_id // Now you can get container IP
