ubuntudockerinternet-connection

No internet connection inside Docker containers


I cannot execute any command requiring internet connection inside any Docker container.

Works:

docker run ubuntu /bin/echo 'Hello world'

Does not work:

docker run ubuntu apt-get update

Err:1 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial InRelease

Err:2 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-updates InRelease
  Temporary failure resolving 'archive.ubuntu.com'
Err:3 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-security InRelease
  Temporary failure resolving 'archive.ubuntu.com'

W: Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/xenial-security/InRelease  Temporary failure resolving 'archive.ubuntu.com'

Similar with pip and ping.

I am on Ubuntu 16.04 and not using firewall or corporate proxy server and have tried to restart Docker. Not using docker-machine or boot2docker.


Solution

  • Got answer on SuperUser:

    pkill docker
    iptables -t nat -F
    ifconfig docker0 down
    brctl delbr docker0
    docker -d
    

    "It will force docker to recreate the bridge and reinit all the network rules"
