Do Docker containers have different IP addresses?
By default, the container is assigned an IP address for every Docker network it connects to. The IP address is assigned from the pool assigned to the network, so the Docker daemon effectively acts as a DHCP server for each container.
Do containers have unique IP addresses?
Each container has its own IP address… however, the realm (in the sense of RFC3102 et seq.) in which these IP addresses exist varies. So this IP address MIGHT be visible to other machines on your network… or MIGHT only be visible to other Docker containers running on the same host machine.
What IP address is Docker running on?
Usually, the default docker ip range is 172.17. 0.0/16 . Your host should be 172.17. 0.1 and your first container should be 172.17.
What is the IP range for 18?

What kind of IP address does Docker use?
The Docker containers will run Apache or some web service. These Docker containers will share one host that has one physical NIC. These containers must be identifiable by unique IP addresses with calls over port 80.
How to provide static IP to Docker containers?
I understand that I have to create a custom network. I create it and the bridge interface is up on the host machine (Ubuntu 16.x). The containers get IP from this subnet but not the static I provided. The containers get 10.5.0.2 and 10.5.0.3, instead of 5 and 6.
How to dismiss an IP address in Docker?
Inside container pre-up ip addr flush dev eth0 in /etc/network/interfaces can be used to dismiss IP address assigned by Docker as in following example: Container’s entry script should begin with /etc/init.d/networking start.
How does docker compose set up a network?
By default docker compose sets up a single network for your app. And your app’s network is given a name based on the “project name”, originated from the name of the directory it lives in. So since our directory is named docker-hive, this explains the new network. Next some examples on how to get the Docker IP Address.
