Yet another great video! I've recently been struggling setting up two piholes on the same host and your explanation of macvlan was 1000% times more concise than every other forum that I've read through over the past couple days. Keep up the great work! Liked and subscribed!

i'll be completely honest, i was literally thinking about this and probably mentioned it out loud near my computer and "boom" this was in my homepage waiting. I was trying to figure out if I should build a lab using containers w/ static IP's or just use Virtualbox in bridged mode so this really helped me.

Your videos are absolutely fantastic!! I used some of your tutorials to stand up docker / portainer on my raspberry pi to self host some things without having a potentially power hungry and noisy desktop running 24/7. I greatly appreciate the time you take to provide these wonderful videos!

I spent probably 3h figuring out how to assign another external IP to a Bind9 container, doing a lot of research and trying with ChatGPT.
Found your video, solved in 5min !!!

Finally somebody who explains that stuff clearly and without jargon! Thank you so much for your contributation!

I created a docker instance in VMWare ESXi and proceeded to follow your instructions. I could not get past the part where I assigned the newly created macvlan to an nginx container for example. The fix was to configure "Promiscuous Mode set to Accept" in my VMWare network settings. In case anyone should run into the same issue. Thank you for sharing Christian. Much appreciated as always. All the best in 2024.

Thanks for explanation of Host Network. Your my Man, you saved my Day/Night :)))

[oppailover]

Thank You man! I was just randomly watching this video and figured out how to solve port 53 issue for pi-hole in docker

Incredible video. I’m currently binge watching your channel and I’m amazed by the the quality of all your content. Keep it going man, you are great!

[lpfigue]

Thanks a lot. I'm using syncthing in docker and the connection was always over relays. Using the host network driver solved the problem and now is over tcp lan.

This is a great, clear and concise explanation of these different network types. :)

[localadm]

this is very good stuff, well explained. going to check that with dockerized pi-hole or adguard. thanks a bunch!

[dakzer]

Thank you for this refresher on docker networking. Has fixed my issue with trying to get HADR for Sql Server instances running in docker

[yoddy]

Thanks for the insight on the various network drivers on docker. I blindly used a macvlan from a tutorial for pihole but wanted to understand how it works.

Hello Christian,

your videos are great, from my side perfect to understand. Please stay tuned, I learned so much.

[axreds]

VIelen Dank! Ich kann nicht verstehen, wie Menschen hier downvoten..
Very interesting! As a guy having a new job in IT as a career changer i need to close alot of knowledge gaps of stuff which seems to be common sense in IT. I like your style!

[FinbarrAherne]

This is exactly what I was looking for! Thank you for the clear and concise explanations for all the different network configs, and also for stepping through each.
