ptp plugin

Overview

The ptp plugin creates a point-to-point link between a container and the host by using a veth device. One end of the veth pair is placed inside a container and the other end resides on the host. The host-local IPAM plugin can be used to allocate an IP address to the container. The traffic of the container interface will be routed through the interface of the host.

Example network configuration

{
	"name": "mynet",
	"type": "ptp",
	"ipam": {
		"type": "host-local",
		"subnet": "10.1.1.0/24"
	},
	"dns": {
		"nameservers": [ "10.1.1.1", "8.8.8.8" ]
	}
}
