In this guide, you will learn how to change the default docker bridge network's subnet to **10.11.12.0/24** on Ubuntu ## Docker-engine's default options Docker creates a bridge called docker0 with a default ip address of 172.17.0.1. On Ubuntu the configuration file is located at: ``` /etc/default/docker ``` ## Edit the docker-engine configuration file If DOCKER_OPTS is alredy exist then add the following option: ``` --bip=10.11.12.1/24 ``` So it will look like: ``` DOCKER_OPTS="--host=tcp://0.0.0.0:2376 --host=unix:///var/run/docker.sock --bip=10.11.12.1/24" ``` Otherwise, just add a new line: ``` DOCKER_OPTS="--bip=10.11.12.1/24 ``` ## Restart docker-engine ``` sudo service docker restart ```
