IPVlan - Macvlan Networks

For some reason, running IPVlan networks on the NetworkManager daemon doesn't work. I disabled the NetworkManager and enabled systemd-networkd. Then ran:

docker network create -d ipvlan --subnet=<your subnet> --gateway=<your gateway> -o parent=<ethernet interface> my_ipvlan_name

To mount a container to that network through compose, you need to add it in the compose file as (alpine is used for the example):

service:
  alpine:
    image: alpine
    container_name: alpine
    networks:
      ipvlan:
        ip4_address: 192.168.0.4 # This is the IP assigned to the container. If not included, it will grab the first available IP from the DHCP server
    restart: unless-stopped
    ports:
      - 80:80
  networks:
    ipvlan:
      external: true

A live resource monitor for docker containers:

docker stats

Find the locations of all docker containers running through compose:

docker compose ls

List all docker containers:

docker ps

Go inside a container through shell:

docker exec -it <container name> <entrypoint>

The entrypoint is basically telling the container which shell to open when entering. For most cases, it will be:

/bin/bash
/bin/zsh
bash
zsh

Restart and recreate a container stack:

docker compose up -d --force-recreate
