Network containers (Engine)
Network containers
If you are working your way through the user guide, you just built and ran a simple application. You’ve also built in your own images. This section teaches you how to network your containers.
Launch a container on the default network
Docker includes support for networking containers through the use of network drivers. By default, Docker provides two network drivers for you, the bridge and the overlay drivers. You can also write a network driver plugin so that you can create your own drivers but that is an advanced task.
Every installation of the Docker Engine automatically includes three default networks. You can list them:
$ docker network ls NETWORK ID NAME DRIVER 18a2866682b8 none null
