Not able to connect to network inside docker container - docker

I have a CentOS 7 host on which I am running Docker. When I do a ping from my host to 8.8.8.8, ping was successful whereas same inside a docker container is not working.
From Host
[root#linux1 ~]# ping 8.8.8.8

Restart the Docker daemon on Debian9
service docker restart
and the connections and networks works fine

Recently I faced a similar network issue. The other answers here didn't help: DNS was working fine and restarting Docker wouldn't change a thing. I've found that specifying the network as host solved it.
There are three ways of doing it:
In docker-compose:
By setting network_mode in the yaml file:
services:
worker:
build: .
network_mode: host
In the image building stage for RUN commands:
docker build --network=host
In the execution stage for the application:
docker run --network=host <image>

Try this:
docker run --dns=8.8.8.8 -it ubuntu ping 8.8.8.8
Ref: DOCKER DNS

I figured out the issue. It is not an issue with the DNS but an issue with the network connection itself inside Docker containers. Drilled down the issue is the default IP assigned to docker0 interface, which conflicted with my network address. Forced docker daemon to assign an IP so that it won't conflict and my issue is resolved.
Thanks

I had the same issue when stop and start container separately. I have just rebuild and re up containers.
docker-compose down
docker-compose build
docker-compose up -d
And then problem gone.

docker container only have internet if run over host network

I have a problem with all my docker containers, they don't has internet access, cannot reach external resources. Im using centos7 and I had installed CSF (configserver firewall) with the docker=1 setting.
I made a test using the next command:
docker run -itd --name=alpine1 alpine
then I enter to it using the next command:
docker exec -it alpine1 /bin/sh
inside the container I try to ping google
ping google.com
but I only get the next error message:
ping: bad address 'google.com'
But if I run the command:
docker run -itd --network host --name=alpine1 alpine
now i can ping google.com and get a success response:
PING google.com (2a00:1450:400f:804::200e): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 2a00:1450:400f:804::200e: seq=0 ttl=119 time=6.741 ms
64 bytes from 2a00:1450:400f:804::200e: seq=1 ttl=119 time=6.836 ms
64 bytes from 2a00:1450:400f:804::200e: seq=2 ttl=119 time=6.842 ms
I think the solution not is run all the containers over host network, and this not apply to container using docker-compose
Any idea to fix that without using --network host?
thanks in advance

Docker DNS is not working. But possible to ping ip. In Fedora 32

In my Fedora 32 machine DNS is working better. DNS lookup is working when ping google.com.
PING google.com (172.217.160.174) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from bom05s12-in-f14.1e100.net (172.217.160.174): icmp_seq=1 ttl=117 time=41.5 ms
64 bytes from bom05s12-in-f14.1e100.net (172.217.160.174): icmp_seq=2 ttl=117 time=47.2 ms
I build following simple docker image using default bridge network. (I need bridge network. My issue is working when i using host network. And DockerImage will have more commands)
FROM tailor/docker-libvips:node-10.9
docker build --tag dinuka/video-file-service-test-sandbox:node-10.9 .
docker run -dit --name video-test-1 dinuka/video-file-service-test-sandbox:node-10.9
I have logged to the container using following command.
docker attach video-test-1
After that i have tried to ping an IP. It is success.
/# ping 8.8.8.8
PING 8.8.8.8 (8.8.8.8) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 8.8.8.8: icmp_seq=1 ttl=116 time=42.5 ms
But it is not working to domain
/# ping google.com
ping: google.com: Temporary failure in name resolution
The container DNS is correct. It is same as my machine name server.
/# cat /etc/resolv.conf
# Generated by NetworkManager
nameserver 192.168.1.1
My machine OS is Fedora 32. I have disable selinux and firewalld. I have tried many solutions in stackoverflow. But any can't solve this.
You need to manually add masquerading to the network interface:
ZONE=$(sudo firewall-cmd --get-zone-of-interface=<internet facing interface>)
sudo firewall-cmd --zone=$ZONE --add-masquerade --permanent success
sudo firewall-cmd --reload success
sudo systemctl restart docker

Docker cannot access .local domains

I am trying to access devices on my network with .local domain, but it doesn't seem to work in Docker.
Ping from host is working:
$ ping test1.local
PING test1.local (192.168.1.90) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 192.168.1.90 (192.168.1.90): icmp_seq=1 ttl=255 time=1.41 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.1.90 (192.168.1.90): icmp_seq=2 ttl=255 time=1.54 ms
Docker demon config:
$ cat /etc/docker/daemon.json
{
"dns": ["192.168.1.1","8.8.8.8"]
}
If I try to ping test1.local from Docker:
$ sudo docker run --network host busybox ping -c 3 test1.local
ping: bad address 'test1.local'
Pinging device with IP works:
$ sudo docker run --network host busybox ping -c 3 192.168.1.90
PING 192.168.1.90 (192.168.1.90): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 192.168.1.90: seq=0 ttl=255 time=4.855 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.1.90: seq=1 ttl=255 time=1.566 ms
So I assume something is wrong name resolution.
madrian#ubuntudev:~$ cat /etc/resolv.conf

Any ideas how to resolve this issue?
Try run your code without --network host argument. The problem is in the DNS resolution.
When you use default bridge (which will be used if you omit network parameter), containers inherit DNS configuration from host, and that is what you need:
https://docs.docker.com/v17.09/engine/userguide/networking/default_network/configure-dns/
When you use user-defined bridge, Docker updates DNS records to enable seamless communication between containers by their names:
https://docs.docker.com/v17.09/engine/userguide/networking/configure-dns/
Unfortunately, I was unable to find explicit explanation on how DNS works with host mode, so I assume this is a problem

Docker: Connection from inside the container to localhost:port Refused

I'm trying to insure the connection between the different containers and the localhost address (127.0.0.1) used with port 8040.( My web application container run using this port.)

What I need to do in this case?
So the Global image that there is two containers ,
The first container contains a tomcat server that deploy my web application and it turnes perfectly.
The second is a container that need to connect to the web application
URL. http://127.0.0.1:8040/my_app
you will have to use docker run --network host IMAGE:TAG for achieving the desired connection
further read here
example:-
docker run --network host --name CONTAINER1 IMAGE:tag
docker run --network host --name CONTAINER2 IMAGE:tag
inside container - CONTAINER2 you will be able to access other container as host CONTAINER1
And for accessing the service you will have to do CONTAINER:
Based on the information provided, looks like there are two containers. If these two containers are started by docker without --net=host then each of them get two different IP addresses. Say your first container got 172.17.0.2 and the second one 172.17.0.3.
In this scenario each container gets it's own networking stack. So 127.0.0.1 refers to it's own networking stack not the same.
As pointed out by #kakabali, it's possible to run the containers with host network, sharing the networking stack of the host.
One of the other options is to use the actual IP address of the first container in the second one.
second-container# curl http://172.17.0.2
Or another option is to run the second container as the sidekick/sidecar container sharing the networking stack of the first one.
docker run --net=container:${ID_OF_FIRST_CONTAINER} ${IMAGE_SECOND}:${IMAGE_TAG_SECOND}
Or if you use links correctly:
docker run --name web -itd ${IMAGE_FIRST}:${TAG_FIRST}
docker run --link web -itd ${IMAGE_SECOND}:${TAG_SECOND}
Note: docker --link feature is deprecated.
Another option is to use container management platforms which take care of service discovery for you automatically.
PS: You cannot ping an IP address on a different port. For more info, click here.

Resolution by container name

I have two containers connected to the default bridge network:
» docker ps
CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES
3cc528ddbe7e gitlab/gitlab-runner:latest "/usr/bin/dumb-ini..." 25 minutes ago Up 25 minutes gitlab-runner

I have found the corresponsing IP addresses with docker inspect (any better method of obtaining them?), and I can ping from one container to the other, by IP address:
» docker exec -it gitlab-runner bash

But I cannot ping by name:

Why is this? I thought docker provides DNS by container name.
I have two containers connected to the default bridge network...
I can ping from one container to the other, by IP address...
But I cannot ping by name...
This is the default behavior for the default bridge network.
From: Docker docs
Differences between user-defined bridges and the default bridge
User-defined bridges provide automatic DNS resolution between containers.
Containers on the default bridge network can only access each other by IP addresses, unless you use the --link option, which is considered legacy. On a user-defined bridge network, containers can resolve each other by name or alias.
