How to connect to MACVLAN LXCs from host?

I have a bunch of containers getting IPs via DHCP over MACVLAN and everything works great, but I can’t access them from the host. @Simos’ excellent and extraordinarily useful blog says this is possible, but the page he links is from 2012 and doesn’t work with netplan and the new “ip” command.

Does anyone have a clear-cut easy to follow tutorial to do this in Ubuntu 18.04? My google-fu has failed me there, even though it seems like this would be a pretty common question! I tried adding a second IP to my host interface via ip addr add and then setting static routes over it but this did not work.

No very easy way with macvlan. Basically the issue is that the design of macvlan doesn’t allow for traffic between the parent device (eno1) and any of the macvlan slave devices (the containers).

The usual workaround for this is to effectively unconfigure any IP you have on eno1 itself, then create yet another macvlan device (through ip link or your distro’s network management solution) and set your IP addresses and routes on that device instead.

With that, your host and containers will effectively all be at the same level and will be able to communicate with each other and with the outside.

Yeah, was hoping for a walkthrough on how to do that.
