Can you be a bit more explicit what you tried? E.g. post the sequence of commands and the output. "link" used to be a feature of Docker but is deprecated a long time ago. – Bryan Apr 17 '18 at 14:02

You want to use Swarm Services with the default Overlay networks built into Swarm Mode (SwarmKit).
Those two containers would then be in their own Service and part of the same overlay network where they could easily let them talk to each other between nodes using their service name (which is their DNS name).
Go through the 6-part setup of getting started with Docker and it will teach you compose files, Swarm Services, and more.
