Docker Essentials: Container Networking - gem-docker-networking

David Nguyen — Sun, 15 Feb 2026 09:02:28 GMT

Activate Cloud Shell Cloud Shell is a virtual machine that is loaded with development tools. It offers a persistent 5GB home directory and runs on the Google Cloud. Cloud Shell provides command-line access to your Google Cloud resources. Click Activate Cloud Shell at the top of the Google Cloud console. When you are connected, you are already authenticated, and the project is set to your PROJECT_ID. The output contains a line that declares the PROJECT_ID for this session: Your Cloud Platform project in this session is set to YOUR_PROJECT_ID gcloud is the command-line tool for Google Cloud. It comes pre-installed on Cloud Shell and supports tab-completion. (Optional) You can list the active account name with this command: gcloud auth list Click Authorize. Your output should now look like this: Output: ACTIVE: * ACCOUNT: student-01-xxxxxxxxxxxx@qwiklabs.net To set the active account, run: $ gcloud config set account `ACCOUNT` (Optional) You can list the project ID with this command: gcloud config list project Output: [core] project = Example output: [core] project = qwiklabs-gcp-44776a13dea667a6 Note: For full documentation of gcloud, in Google Cloud, refer to the gcloud CLI overview guide. Overview This lab provides a practical exploration of Docker networking. You will learn how containers communicate with each other and the outside world using various networking modes. You'll also learn how to create custom networks and control container communication. We will use Artifact Registry to host the container images used in this lab. Task 1. Setting up the Environment In this task, you will configure your environment and pull the necessary images from Artifact Registry. Set your Project ID is: qwiklabs-gcp-00-192ff2ed31f3 gcloud config set project qwiklabs-gcp-00-192ff2ed31f3 Note:This command sets your active project identity. Set your default region to us-west1 gcloud config set compute/region us-west1 Note:This command sets your active compute region. Enable the Artifact Registry API. gcloud services enable artifactregistry.googleapis.com Note:Enables the Artifact Registry service. Create a Docker repository in Artifact Registry. Replace lab-registry with a name for your repository. It must be unique within the specified region. gcloud artifacts repositories create lab-registry --repository-format=docker --location=us-west1 --description="Docker repository" Note:Creates a Docker repository in Artifact Registry. Configure Docker to authenticate with Artifact Registry. gcloud auth configure-docker us-west1-docker.pkg.dev Note:This command configures Docker to use your Google Cloud credentials for authentication with Artifact Registry. Pull the alpine/curl image from Docker Hub and tag it for your Artifact Registry. docker pull alpine/curl && docker tag alpine/curl us-west1-docker.pkg.dev/qwiklabs-gcp-00-192ff2ed31f3/lab-registry/alpine-curl:latest Note:This will pull the image from docker hub and tag it for Artifact Registry. Push the alpine/curl image to Artifact Registry. docker push us-west1-docker.pkg.dev/qwiklabs-gcp-00-192ff2ed31f3/lab-registry/alpine-curl:latest strong>Note:This command pushes the tagged image to your Artifact Registry repository. Pull the nginx:latest image from Docker Hub and tag it for your Artifact Registry. docker pull nginx:latest && docker tag nginx:latest us-west1-docker.pkg.dev/qwiklabs-gcp-00-192ff2ed31f3/lab-registry/nginx:latest Note:This will pull the image from docker hub and tag it for Artifact Registry. Push the nginx:latest image to Artifact Registry. docker push us-west1-docker.pkg.dev/qwiklabs-gcp-00-192ff2ed31f3/lab-registry/nginx:latest Note:This command pushes the tagged image to your Artifact Registry repository. Task 2. Exploring Default Bridge Network This task explores the default bridge network Docker creates. You will run containers and observe their communication within this network. Run container1 using the alpine/curl image. docker run -d --name container1 us-west1-docker.pkg.dev/qwiklabs-gcp-00-192ff2ed31f3/lab-registry/alpine-curl:latest sleep infinity Run container2 using the alpine/curl image. docker run -d --name container2 us-west1-docker.pkg.dev/qwiklabs-gcp-00-192ff2ed31f3/lab-registry/alpine-curl:latest sleep infinity Note:This starts two containers in detached mode. The sleep infinity command keeps the containers running. Inspect the default bridge network. docker network inspect bridge Note:This shows details of the bridge network, including connected containers and IP addresses. From container1, ping container2 using its name. Note that Docker uses embedded DNS for name resolution within the default bridge network. docker exec -it container1 ping container2 Note:This executes the ping command within container1, targeting container2. The standard bridge network does not provide DNS resolution, so ping command cannot use the container name. Stop container2 from runnning. docker stop container2 && docker rm container2 Restart container2 running as an HTTP server. docker run -d --name container2 -p 8080:80 us-west1-docker.pkg.dev/qwiklabs-gcp-00-192ff2ed31f3/lab-registry/nginx:latest Note:Start a new container2 running nginx and exposing port 8080. From container1, use curl to make an HTTP request to container2. docker exec -it container1 curl container2:8080 Note:Send a curl request from container1 to container2 on port 8080. The standard bridge network does not provide DNS resolution, so curl command cannot use the container name. Task 3. Creating and Using Custom Networks This task demonstrates how to create a custom network which supports DNS and connect containers to it, providing more control over network configuration. Create a new network named my-net. docker network create my-net Note:Creates a new Docker network named my-net. Run container 3 connecting it to the my-net network. docker run -d --name container3 --network my-net us-west1-docker.pkg.dev/qwiklabs-gcp-00-192ff2ed31f3/lab-registry/alpine-curl:latest sleep infinity Run container 4 connecting it to the my-net network. docker run -d --name container4 --network my-net us-west1-docker.pkg.dev/qwiklabs-gcp-00-192ff2ed31f3/lab-registry/alpine-curl:latest sleep infinity Note:Starts two containers connected to the my-net network. Inspect the my-net network to see the connected containers and their IP addresses. docker network inspect my-net Note:Displays details about the my-net network. From container3, ping container4 using its name. Name resolution works within custom networks as well. docker exec -it container3 ping container4 Note:Tests connectivity between containers within my-net. Stop the active container 4 from running. docker stop container4 && docker rm container4 Restart container 4. docker run -d --name container4 --network my-net -p 8081:80 us-west1-docker.pkg.dev/qwiklabs-gcp-00-192ff2ed31f3/lab-registry/nginx:latest Run an nginx container on my-net and test connectivity. docker exec -it container3 curl container4:80 Note:Starts an nginx container on my-net. Stop the active container 4 from running. docker stop container4 && docker rm container4 Task 4. Publishing Ports and Accessing Containers from the Host Learn how to publish container ports and access containerized services from the host machine. Run an nginx container, publishing port 80 to the host's port 8080. docker run -d --name container4 -p 8080:80 us-west1-docker.pkg.dev/qwiklabs-gcp-00-192ff2ed31f3/lab-registry/nginx:latest Note:Publishes port 80 of the container to port 8080 on the host. Access the nginx service from the host machine using curl. curl localhost:8080 Note:This command sends an HTTP request to the published port on the host machine. Use docker port to check the port mapping. docker port container4 80 Note:This command shows the mapping for port 80 of the container. Task 5. Cleaning Up Remove the created containers and networks. Stop all containers. docker stop container1 container2 container3 container4 Remove all containers. docker rm container1 container2 container3 container4 Note:This stops and removes the containers created in the previous steps. Remove the my-net network. docker network rm my-net Note:This removes the custom network.
