Docker Container Communication and External Network Communication

Posted by kickstart on Tue, 08 Oct 2019 17:02:30 +0200

Inter-Container Communication

1. Network Sharing of Containers

The docker container in this mode will share a network stack so that efficient and fast communication between the two containers can be achieved using localhost.

Used for communication between web server and application server.

 

##Clean up the experimental environment
[root@server1 ~]# docker ps -a
