Docker Network Create Shared-Network

In the world of containers and microservices, Docker has become an industry standard for its ease of use and flexibility. One powerful feature that Docker offers is the ability to create custom networks for your containers to communicate with each other.

When setting up a microservices architecture, you may find yourself needing to share a network across multiple containers. This is where the Docker network create shared-network command comes into play.

The Docker network create command allows you to create a new network in Docker. By adding the --attachable flag, you can create a network that can be attached to containers later on.

Here are the steps to create a shared network in Docker:

• Open your terminal and run the following command:
  docker network create --driver bridge --attachable shared-network
• This command creates a new bridge network called shared-network that can be attached to containers.

Once you have created the shared network, you can attach containers to it by using the --network flag when running a new container. For example:

• docker run -d --name container1 --network shared-network image1
• docker run -d --name container2 --network shared-network image2

By attaching containers to the shared network, you enable them to communicate with each other using their container names. This simplifies the networking setup and enhances the scalability of your microservices architecture.

With the Docker network create shared-network command, you can easily create a shared network for your containers to communicate effectively in a microservices environment.
