Docker Macvlan Networks
Published on
Updated on
It is useful to have some docker containers live in the same network as your host machine. We can accomplish this by creating a new MAC address for the container and using the macvlan driver. Here is example Docker Compose configuration
services:
nginx:
image: linuxserver/nginx
container_name: nginx
hostname: nginx
# Randomized MAC address
mac_address: 4E:64:A4:60:8D:0E
environment:
PUID: 1000
PGID: 1000
volumes:
- /etc/nginx:/config/nginx
restart: always
ports:
- 80/tcp
- 443/udp
networks:
macvlan_network:
# Static IP for host network
ipv4_address: 192.168.0.10
# Allow access to nginx container in default docker network
default:
networks:
macvlan_network:
driver: macvlan
driver_opts:
# Obtain device name by looking at `ip addr`
parent: eno1
ipam:
config:
- subnet: 192.168.0.0/24
