Hai semuanya, di materi kali ini kita akan membahas tentang Simple Networking dengan Docker Network Link.

Before the Docker networks feature, you could use the Docker link feature to allow containers to discover each other and securely transfer information about one container to another container.

Ok pertama kita siapkan dulu running container sebagai contoh disini saya mau menjalankan Web-Server dengan image nginx seperti berikut:

For Bash script:

For Powershell script:

Untuk membuat container links, Docker menggunakan nama container yang telah dibuat dan statusnya running. Seperti yang telah kita buat contohnya webapp:

➜ ~  docker container ls

CONTAINER ID   IMAGE     COMMAND                  CREATED          STATUS          PORTS     NAMES
57f5f5084bf3   nginx     "/docker-entrypoint.…"   58 minutes ago   Up 58 minutes   80/tcp    webapp

Jika kita mau connect ke container webapp tersebut kita buat container baru dengan image ubuntu dan menjalankan perintah seperti berikut:

For Bash script:

For Powershell script:

Jika di jalankan maka hasilnya seperti berikut:

➜ ~ docker container run `
>> --rm `
>> --link webapp:nginx_dev `
>> ubuntu:21.04 `
>> bash -c "apt update -y && apt install curl -y && curl http://nginx_dev:80"
<!DOCTYPE html>

    body {

<body>

<p>If you see this page, the nginx web server is successfully installed and
working. Further configuration is required.</p>

<p><em>Thank you for using nginx.</em></p>

So what does linking the containers actually do? Docker exposes connectivity information for the source container to the recipient container in two ways:

  1. Environment variables,
  2. Updating the /etc/hosts file.

Seperti berikut:

➜ ~  docker inspect -f "{{ .HostConfig.Links }}" ubuntu
[/nginx-dev:/ubuntu/nginx-dev]

➜ ~  docker container run `
>> --rm `
>> --link webapp:nginx_dev `
>> ubuntu:21.04 `
>> bash -c "cat /etc/hosts"
127.0.0.1       localhost
::1     localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
172.17.0.2      nginx_dev 57f5f5084bf3 webapp
172.17.0.3      674f56f7b5e0

➜ ~  docker container run `
>> --rm `
>> --link webapp:nginx_dev `
>> ubuntu:21.04 `
>> env

Cleanup

Ok setelah kita coba membuat link, sekarang kita bersihkan dulu ya supaya tidak nyampah. berikut perintahnya:
