Question: why --net=host ?

Open gtmtech opened this issue 10 years ago • 1 comments

Running progrium/consul docker on AWS.

I saw this in #56 - "There is an issue with the Consul Docker image, where you must run the container using --net="host". otherwise, communication is unstable."

Is it possible to provide any detail on whether this is still true? Haven't seen this at all, but keen to find out more

I would believe that this was not only AWS issue - but more general docker networking problem related to mac address changing and ARP table timeouts in the network. Might be described here in more detail: https://github.com/docker/docker/issues/4581
