Static IP for container with driver overlay

[prapdm]

Description

Steps to reproduce the issue:

1. docker network create --driver overlay --subnet 10.40.1.0/24 --gateway 10.40.1.1 mynetwork
2. Create test.yml file:

version: '3'
services:
  test:
    image: nginx:stable-alpine
    networks:
     my_network:
       ipv4_address: 10.40.1.20
   
networks:
 my_network:
   external:
     name: mynetwork

3. docker stack deploy --compose-file=test.yml ng
4. docker exec -it 0dbca750f536 hostname -i

Describe the results you received:

docker exec -it 0dbca750f536 hostname -i
10.40.0.3

Describe the results you expected:

docker exec -it 0dbca750f536 hostname -i
10.40.1.20

Thanks for reporting; Static IP addresses for services are not yet supported, see #25303 (and #24170, #29816).

I'll close this issue, because we're tracking this feature through those issues, and don't want the discussion to diverge. Implementing this for docker stack deploy depends on the feature being supported for services first. You can subscribe to those issues using the "subscribe" button.

Closing this issue, but feel free to comment after I closed 👍

I searched around and tried different possibilities and I was able to assign static ips to containers. I am pretty new to docker, I don't know if this is the right way though.

I created a swarm. In manager, I created an attachable overlay network with a subnet.

docker network create -d overlay --subnet=10.0.9.0/22 --attachable overlay-network

My docker compose:

version: "3.2"

services:
  hadoop-master:
    image: devhadoop-master
    container_name: hadoop-master
    .
    .
    .
    networks:
      overlay-network:
        ipv4_address: 10.0.9.22

networks:
  overlay-network:
    external: true

Note the configuration under default networks where external is true. That is what made it work.
Though I created the overlay-network with attachable flag, service in my worker was not able to connect to it. So I ran a docker run --rm --net overlay-network alpine sleep 1d to make overlay-network discoverable, then my worker-service able to connect to it.
