Add reference to Bridge-NF

xkjyeah opened this issue · 4 comments

I had issues setting up the bridge, before I realized that bridge-netfilter filtering must be turned off.

Symptoms

  • Can ping external server from host
  • Can ping DHCP server (in Docker) from host
  • Cannot ping host from external server or vice-versa

Solution
Disable bridge netfiltering on the host.

# sysctl -w net.bridge.bridge-nf-call-iptables=0
# sysctl -w net.bridge.bridge-nf-call-ip6tables=0

Could you add this as a hint to the README?

Wow, I never ran into that :-o

Are you sure that it was the problem, and that it wasn't a side-effect of something else?

Can you indicate which distro you are using, which kernel version, and which version of Docker?

Thank you!

I added a note in the README. Thank you for reporting this!
