Docker uses the default 172.17. 0.0/16 subnet for container networking. If your host system is in this subnet block, you will experience an IP conflict when the docker service or a container is started. To avoid IP conflict, you can change the default docker subnet by modifying the /etc/docker/daemon.json file:
First, check if /etc/docker/daemon.json exists, if not, create it:
Modify daemon.json file with a preferred text editor
Paste the following lines:
{
"default-address-pools":
[
{"base":"","size":24}
]
}
Save the file by clicking “ctrl+x” and then clicking “y” and finally pressing the “enter".
Restart docker service by executing the following command:
Check the IP address of the docker0 interface:
The output should look like this:
docker0: flags=4099<UP,BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet 10.10.0.1 netmask 255.255.0.0 broadcast 10.10.255.255 ether AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF txqueuelen 0 (Ethernet) RX packets 0 bytes 0 (0.0 B) RX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 frame 0 TX packets 0 bytes 0 (0.0 B) TX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0
