Create docker bridge for API within container
Raw
gistfile1.md

##Use network interfaces to allow docker to speak to it's API via containers

###Daemon and host side config

  1. Add a new network hardware called api0 ip link add api0 type bridge
  2. Bring it up using ip link set api0 up
  3. Give it an IP Address ip addr add 192.168.0.1/16 dev api0
  4. Restart docker daemon on that IP address docker -d -H 192.168.0.1:4243 -d

###Docker side config lxc containers can have more than one network interface at startup. So we can just add raw lxc configs to make that link between them.

  1. Use the following docker command to start a container with the second link to the api0 interface

docker -H 192.168.0.1:4243 run -d -lxc-conf="lxc.network.type=veth" -lxc-conf="lxc.network.link=api0" -lxc-conf="lxc.network.flags=up" -lxc-conf="lxc.network.ipv4=192.168.0.2/16" -lxc-conf="lxc.network.name=api0" -p 22 dhrp/sshd /usr/sbin/sshd -D
