Way to assign Linux container to the same LAN as host?


My goal is to make my Linux container live on the same lan as host and other devices. Because I need to use nmap frequently to scan the devices mac address on the lan. Unfortunately, the nmap scanning is only working when these machines all live on the same subnet.

I've tried several ways to make it happen, but all failed. Although there are lots of instructions about how to do this, seem like they are all for Docker for Linux.

For example, a very detailed instructions from stackoverflow: Docker on CentOS with bridge to LAN network is also not working for me.


Things I've tried:

Macvlan:

it seems like Docker for Windows 10 doesn't support macvlan due to I have no way to make Windows network adapter as parent..

Pipework:

which is only working on Linux system but I am using Windows 10..

Modify bip from daemon.json:

I tried, which will set docker0 to static IP then container is still not able to ping devices on the LAN. I guess it's because the container is placed at NAT and change docker0 bridge ip won't be able to achieve my goal.

Run image with --net host:

which ifconfig shows:

It's able to ping everything on my subnet, but the IP is still not from my subnet but 192.168.65.3.

Then I was trying to change the eth0 ip to static IP by editing /etc/network/interface.d/eth0, after restart networking service, the eth0 ip is changed to static ip from my subnet, but the network is not working anymore.

PLEASE, if anyone here knows how to place Windows 10's Linux Container on the LAN as same as host's.

Solution

  • I had posted another question which is the same root cause of this question. Therefore, they could apply to the same solution.

    The solution is post on DOCKER: Linux Container on Windows 10, how to use nmap to scan device's mac address
