Configuring Docker networking involves several steps. Here are some basic steps to help you configure Docker networking:
Step 1: Create a Network
You can create a network in Docker using the following format:
`$ docker network create [options] [network]`
Replace `[options]` with specific Docker options for your network, and replace `[network]` with the name you choose for your network.
Example:
`docker network create my_network`
Step 2: Connect a Docker Container To Your Network
The next step is to connect your Docker container to the network you just created. Use the following command to achieve this:
`$ docker network connect [network] [container]`
Replace `[network]` with the name of your network and replace `[container]` with the name of your Docker container.
Example:
`docker network connect my_network my_container`
Step 3: Disconnect a Docker Container From Your Network
Use the following code to disconnect a Docker container from your network:
`$ docker network disconnect [network] [container]`
Replace `[network]` with the name of your network and replace `[container]` with the name of your Docker container.
Example:
`docker network disconnect my_network my_container`
Step 4: Remove a Network
Finally, if you need to remove a Docker network, use the following code:
`$ docker network rm [network]`
Replace `[network]` with the name of your network.
Example:
`docker network rm my_network`
Please be aware that you may need elevated permissions to perform these commands, depending on your server setup. You should also replace the example network and container names with those that match your specific configuration.
Note:
Docker provides network drivers: bridge, host, overlay, none, and macvlan.
The default driver is bridge. When you (or Docker) creates a network, it automatically creates a bridge to connect the network to it. This bridge remains inside the host’s network stack and doesn’t affect other networks on the host.
Keep in mind, these instructions are for a basic setup, and you can perform much more advanced network configuration with Docker, depending on your needs.
