Docker Tutorial for Beginners
Docker containers can communicate with each other and the outside world through networking. Docker networking provides the ability to create virtual networks, attach containers to them, and connect them to each other. This allows containers to communicate with each other as if they were on the same physical network.
To create a new network in Docker, you can use the docker network create
command followed by the name of the network. For example, docker network create my-network
will create a new network named my-network
. Once the network is created, you can attach containers to it using the --network
option when running the docker run
command. For example, docker run --network my-network my-image
will run the my-image
container on the my-network
network.
Docker also provides a DNS service that allows containers to resolve each other's IP addresses using their container names. For example, if you have two containers named web
and db
, you can use ping db
from the web
container to ping the db
container's IP address.
