Networks

Docker networks, connect containers, and topology.

Overview

Networks lists Docker networks on the host — driver, subnet/gateway, options, and attached containers. Foster database, S3, and related services typically attach to foster_network (bridge, attachable).

Create & attach

  • Create a network with a name, driver (usually bridge), and attachable flag when needed.
  • Connect or disconnect a container to/from a network (disconnect can force).
  • Remove a network by name or id when it is unused.

Use attach counts from inspect as the source of truth before deleting a network.

Notes

Removing a network fails or breaks apps if containers still depend on it. Leave built-in networks (bridge, host, none) alone unless you know why you are changing them.
