Exposed ports are only accessible with --net=host

I have encountered a strange issue that does not allow me to connect to an exposed container port:

docker run -d -p 2221:222 mycontainer:latest
docker0   Link encap:Ethernet
          inet addr:172.17.42.1  Bcast:0.0.0.0  Mask:255.255.0.0

eth0      Link encap:Ethernet 
          inet addr:10.0.1.40  Bcast:10.0.1.63  Mask:255.255.255.224

The port is there and listening

However, if I run docker with --net=host, I am successfully able to connect to the port.

1 Do you set --ip on docker daemon start? This will set the default ip when binding container ports
2 Can you show the result of docker port YOUR_CONTAINER or just the result of docker ps?

  1. no, but adding it didn't help (tried both 0.0.0.0 and the local IP of the node)

But I cannot connect to mongodb on localhost:27017

But when I:

docker run -ti --net=host --name mongodb-dev -p 28017:28017 -p 27017:27017 pkh/mongodb-dev

(note the added --net=host) it exposes the ports as:

(note that 27017 is now bound to mongodb and not docker-proxy) then it works as expected.

Up until yesterday it was working without it. Where do I start looking what has changed? I am sure I've run some system upgrades (running on Arch) but is it something from Docker that changed?

@Jaykah @stratosgear At least with docker 1.8.1, If you follow @coolljt0725 advice ( restarting the daemon with --ip=<your host interface ip>) things should work.

In the netstat o/p you would see the expose port binded to the ipv4 address you specified.

It seems to me the real issue is that if --ip is not specified, docker will bind the port to the zero IPv6 address, instead of to the zero IPv4 address or to both.

Being a little more specific:

Adding --ip=127.0.0.1 in the ExecStart line of /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/docker.service solved the problem ( no more --net=host when i run my docker images)

BTW, I'm running Arch, no idea where changes to the Docker daemon should take place in other distros

Need to rectify my comment, the netstat ipv6 binding notation does not seem to be an issue as per comments in docker/issues/2174

I think this is the way you set the --ip flag when using docker-machine.

docker-machine create --driver virtualbox --engine-opt ip=127.0.0.1 dev

I'm running into this as well, after upgrading to Docker version 1.8.1, build d12ea79

The strange thing is that on two of my hosts it works fine, but on another it's having this issue.

(My app runs on 8080)

On a good host:

ubuntu@ip-10-128-9-171:~$ docker --version

On a bad host:

ubuntu@ip-10-128-16-9:~$ docker --version

ubuntu@ip-10-128-16-9:~$ sudo netstat -tulpn | grep :8080

Trying 10.128.16.9...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: No route to host
ubuntu@ip-10-128-16-9:~$

I've tried to fix this a few ways - one is using --ip=0.0.0.0 and another using --ip=127.0.0.1. The latter isn't an actual fix, since it seems that the ports are only bound to localhost, which isn't what I want. Do we now need to provide --ip=<ip of eth0> to make this work everytime? That doesn't seem like a good solution either, because it'll mean that it won't bind to 127.0.0.1 as well. I'd really like to be able to bind to 0.0.0.0 as it used to work before 1.8.

So I think I've found at least partially what is causing this, though not what is causing what is causing this. It looks like the issue has to do with poor old NAT rules not being removed in some case. My current guess is that it's when the docker daemon is restarted, though I haven't yet been able to verify that.

Anyway, I downgraded my docker to docker 1.7.1 (which was not super simple with ubuntu packages - had to go back to lxc-docker from the old Ubuntu repo) and I still saw this problem popping up. That's when I started digging into how docker manages to move the traffic to the container when a port is exposed.

On a host where the container was running (and exporting to port 8080 on the host) where I couldn't connect, I took a look and saw this in the NAT table:

ip-172-17-0-10 and ip-172-17-0-9 were both the IPs of a previous attempt at running the container that no longer exist (again, not sure why this is). I removed all rules referring to them, and I could then connect to my container from the host using any address on that host. Here's my NAT table after the fact when things were working once more:

Just wanted to say bravo for such deep investigative work and acknowledge the effort you put into that...!

So I just realized that we have been running docker 1.7.0 in staging/production. I went ahead and rolled back to that in my test environment and have been repeatedly terminating instances (and letting AWS Autoscaling bring up new ones in their place) and I haven't seen this issue since. I've got about 6 rebuilds under my belt now with this, so it seems like this may have been introduced in 1.7.1.

Editing to add: I've since done over 40 host rebuilds, and not a single instance of this issue since moving to 1.7.0. Before this we'd see it about every 3-4th instance launch attmept.

Just rolled forward again to 1.7.1, this time using the old apt mirror (since the new one doesn't yet allow you to pull down old versions) and this issue started popping up almost immediately once more.

Just to say that the same issue was present already on 1.6.2. We solved the issue by deleting the stale iptables rules.

Last time it happened after we had an error such as the one explained in #8539. But since this happened other times simply by stopping, removing and recreating the container (through compose), I don't really know whether the two issues are really related.

ping @aboch. can you PTAL at this ?

@Teudimundo How do you actually go about deleting the stale iptables rules? I'm still having issues with this, well, issue... Thanks!

@stratosgear I followed the istructions of @phobologic. You look for the port you are trying to expose and you will find rules forwarding that port to an ip of a container that is no longer running. You need to delete that (or those rules). Using iptables -L -t nat --line-numbers you find the rules, then you delete them using the corresponding number. Be careful that every time you delete a rule, line numbers of following rules changes, so it's better to list the rules after each removal to see the line numbers of the next rule you want to delete.

It seems like you should be able to work around this with a cronjob that checks the DOCKER chain in iptables for duplicates and if found uses the Docker API to figure out what the current IP for the port is and remove the bad ones.

Right now we're seeing tons of orphaned rules in our iptables chains; only for the services with a fixed port does it actually cause an observable problem, but the issue seems to happen all the time.

Seeing similar problems here as well with Docker 1.7.1 on CentOS 7 (iptables version 1.4.21).

If docker changed to add rules to the DOCKER chain with -I (insert at front) instead of -A (append), it would work around this bug: even though the old bad rules would still be there, at least the new rules would take precedence.

I've written a little tool that I'm going to try to run in a cronjob every minute in production: https://gist.github.com/glasser/0486d98073ce15f38b9d

Upgrading to 1.8.3 from 1.7.1 seems to have resolved this for us.

Thanks for testing @glasser

Is this still an issue for anyone else here (on 1.8.3 or 1.9), or is this resolved?

I think I'm having the exact same problem on 1.9. --net=host fixes it, but adding --ip=127.0.0.1 or --ip=0.0.0.0 doesn't and it won't work with default 0.0.0.0.

In case it's helpful anyone: I just ran into this problem with 1.10.3 and restarting the docker daemon corrected it.

I just had the exact same problem with 1.10.3, and it means that the final part of the introductory tutorial was broken for me. I was able to get it working by adding --ip=0.0.0.0 in the ExecStart line of /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/docker.service

I am having the same issue using 1.10.3 on ubuntu 14.04. The only way I can access exposed ports is when I start the container using --net=host.

I have tried adding --ip=0.0.0.0 to DOCKER_OPTS in /etc/default/docker and restarting the daemon but that does not work. Anyone else able to make it work on ubuntu?

I modified /etc/stsctl.conf and added/uncommented

net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding=1

After rebooting the ports are accessible with the bridge network. However if I use VPN then I am back to being unable to access the ports. Any suggestions?

I switched to OpenConnect from Cisco anyConnect and it all works now.

If you want your container ports to bind on your ipv4 addresse, just :

  • edit /etc/sysconfig/docker-network
    • add DOCKER_NETWORK_OPTIONS=-ip=xx.xx.xx.xx
    • xx.xx.xx.xx being your real ipv4 (and not 0.0.0.0)
  • restart docker deamon

works for me on docker 1.9.1

Any clue where this might be in debian? I tried adding it to /etc/default/docker

DOCKER_OPTS="--dns 8.8.8.8 --dns 8.8.4.4"

DOCKER_NETWORK_OPTIONS="--ip=x.x.x.x"

and also as a part of DOCKER_OPTS:

DOCKER_OPTS="--dns 8.8.8.8 --dns 8.8.4.4 --ip=x.x.x.x"

I've recently upgraded to 1.11.1:

Still I get containers that listen on IPv6 only, adding --net=host doesn't seem to help either?

@joshuacox what version of debian are you running? If it's a version that uses systemd, then /etc/default/docker is not used

I'm seeing the same issue on Ubuntu 14.04. The --ip flag doesn't change anything the --net=host option allows connections to the mapped ports.

Docker version 1.11.2, build b9f10c9
Ubuntu 14.04
It doesn't work without --net=host option.

Ok, same problem here on Ubuntu 14.04. No leftover iptables rules. Works fine on another machine with docker 0.10.3.
I must note that I have 2 network interfaces and I explicitly map the port to one of the interfaces (eth1). I can telnet locally to the bound port on eth1 (443), but when external traffic comes in on eth1 port 443 it goes down the drain.

I am having the same problem. I am trying to dockerize HDFS. HDFS has 2 components: namenode and datanode. NameNode is roughly the "master". Datanode is the "worker". The Namenode is responsible for manaing one or more datanodes
The NameNode exposes multiple ports. The important ones are 50070 and 8020. 50070 is the web admin console for HDFS. 8020 is the port that DataNode communicates over. I stood up a NameNode, and exposed both 50070 and 8020. I can access 50070 from the host machine, but cannot access 8020. when I telnet to 8020 on the NameNode, it connects but immediately closes connection.

I stood up a Datanode and linked the namenode to the datanode. The datanode isn;t able to register itself to the namenode. When I telnet into 8020 on the NameNode from the DataNode, I see the same problem. The connection drops as soon as it connects
namenode.zip

@GaalDornick When you are on the host and you telnet to the exposed port, it goes through a proxy process, which is probably why telnet is connecting.

To me it sounds like nothing is listening on 8020, or perhaps more correct, nothing is listening on 8020 on eth0 in the container where the forwarded port should be going to.

@cpuguy83 When I create a bash shell in the container and telnet to localhost 8020, it connects. It's a standard hadoop name node. It listens on both ports 50070 and 8020. It's not logging any errors. I've never seen a case where Namenode listens on one port but not the other. If NameNode is not able to listen on 8020, I would expect it to log errors or stop

@GaalDornick That's my point. localhost inside the container is not the same as localhost outside the container (or localhost between containers). Ports can't be forwarded to localhost in the container. If the process is only listening on localhost then nothing can be forwarded to it.

Ahh I see. How do I check where is hadoop listening on port 8020. Normally i run netstat -tulpn to find which ports are bound to which processes. But, I can't install netstatinside the container

I do see something in the Hadoop logs. When it listens to 50070, it logs this

When it listens on 8020, it logs this

The one that works binds to 0.0.0.0, and the one that doesn't binds to 127.0.0.1. Could this cause the problem?

@GaalDornick Most likely that's it.
You can check netstat by doing docker run --net container:<name> and start an image with netstat (or something you can install netstat into).

YES!! That worked. Thanks @cpuguy83

Just in case someone else is facing this problem Configure your application to listen to 0.0.0.0 not 127.0.0.1 I bet Docker's documentation probably spells this out somewhere and I missed it

Same trouble here. I'm running docker version 1.12.3 build 6b644ec.
Trying to run couchbase:
docker run -d --name db -p 8091 -p 11210:11210 couchbase
Without --net=host option cannot access docker host:
docker run --net=host -d --name db -p 8091 -p 11210:11210 couchbase

Do not have any special configurations and nat table is empty.

@valtoni please open a new issue with at least the output of docker version and docker info, and the exact steps to reproduce (including how you're trying to connect). I'm not sure there's a bug though, more likely a configuration issue.

+1. I had the same problem.

Any ideas?

@akamalov the default configuration of etcd is to listen on localhost only.

docker run --rm akamalov/etcd-docker:3.1.7008 --help

	--listen-peer-urls 'http://localhost:2380'
		list of URLs to listen on for peer traffic.
	--listen-client-urls 'http://localhost:2379'
		list of URLs to listen on for client traffic.

...

	--initial-advertise-peer-urls 'http://localhost:2380'
		list of this member's peer URLs to advertise to the rest of the cluster.
	--initial-cluster 'default=http://localhost:2380'
		initial cluster configuration for bootstrapping.
...
	--advertise-client-urls 'http://localhost:2379'

Just as a quick check, try;

docker run -d -p 2379:2379 --net=host --name etcd akamalov/etcd-docker:3.1.7008 --advertise-client-urls 'http://0.0.0.0:2379' --listen-client-urls 'http://0.0.0.0:2379'

And it should listen on any IP-address

This issue has become a kitchen sink of many issues related to networking. Some issues reported here are due to misconfiguration of the container, some because of settings on the host or daemon configuration.

I'm going to lock this issue to prevent the discussion diverging further. If you are running into issues, and suspect there's a bug, please open a new issue with details, and the exact steps to reproduce.
