I am running Docker inside an LXD Debian container. The containers created have no internet access until I deploy a container with privileged access. Things like “apt update” don’t work inside the container until the container is privileged.
I don’t know if this is still an issue with the current LXD version, however have you tried this?
The link will forward you to a question about running docker inside LXD containers.
Well, I am trying to run VSCode container (Docker Hub). The container deploys fine but when I try to access the container with the server’s public IP after mapping the ports in the docker command, I can’t access the container. To check if the network is OK, I exec into the container and did ping and “apt update” tasks, both of them failed. Apparently, the container has no internet access.
When I deploy the same container with the –privileged option the container now has internet access and I could access it with my server’s public IP.
And, It’s just my doubt, if the docker firewall is causing the problem how can a privileged container get internet access?
Hello Thomas. I’m afraid I don’t have access to that information. I rented a VPS from a hosting provider who uses LXD as the hypervisor. For that info, I might have to create a support ticket with my VPS provider.
I created another post with some info from Docker. Can you have a look at this post, please?
Hi Thomas. I’ve managed to build an Ubuntu image with net-tools installed. When I create a container and execute “ifconfig” I see no interfaces. With a container with privileged access, I see eth0 interface (one of docker bridge IP is assigned).
