Simple network plugin for Docker Engine that can replace macvlan
in container-as-VM scenarios, allowing host-to-container communication
(see https://github.com/docker/for-linux/issues/931 for bug details).
It should be a drop-in replacement for macvlan module.
Plugin is packaged as Docker Engine-managed plugin.
Check out plugin page on Docker Hub.
To install it simply run:
docker plugin install jacekkow/pyveth
After installation you can use driver in newly-created networks:
docker network create --driver jacekkow/pyveth:latest new-network
By default it will simply create a pair of veth interfaces for each container.
One will be pushed inside the container and another will remain on host
(without any IP assigned).
Plugin accepts optional parent parameter, which is a name of bridge
interface that the second interface should be added to:
docker network create --driver jacekkow/pyveth:latest --opt parent=br0 new-network
This way host interface will be automatically attached to the specified bridge.
In order to test this module in development environment, you can build it
by following Docker Engine documentation.
You can also use package.sh helper script which will perform
all the steps (including installation) automatically.
