I’ve been trying to place my container direclty on my local network (LAN). I’ve tried setting up macvlan and by using a docker but I’ve been unable to communicate directly to the container.

Here is what I’ve done:

-> Created a “macvlan” network named “pub_net” and gave it the subnet from my LAN.

I could only get the below command to be accepted by using “eth0”. Is this correct? What name is Docker expecting here?

docker network create -d macvlan \
--subnet=192.168.1.0/24 \
--gateway=192.168.1.1 -o \
parent=eth0 pub_net

Ran an image, named it “yuri”, attached it to the newly created “pub_net” network and gave it an IP from the “pub_net” subnet.

docker run -d --net=pub_net --ip=192.168.1.37 --name=yuri -t ubuntu

Once this is complete I’m unable to communicate with the container at 192.168.1.37

Any ideas what I’m doing wrong?

Thanks for any help you can give!

"The macvlan networking driver only works on Linux hosts, and is not supported on Docker Desktop for Mac, Docker Desktop for Windows, or Docker EE for Windows Server."
