Docker + Portainer and MacVlan

[ChrisLoudon]

Hi guys,

 

As a noob to all this, I'm pretty pleased with myself having got OMV5 up and running for my NAS as well as a few docker containers including Pi-Hole, Lancache, NZBET and Torrents working and playing nice together.

 

After using Portainer to deploy the stacks, I found I then needed to create a new network using the MacVlan driver to specify a small pool of IP addresses to then be assigned to Pi-Hole and Lancache specifically. These address are on the same subnet as the host system and the rest of my network.

 

The problem I am having is if for whatever reason I need to restart the server, the order in which the containers start affects which IP is then allocated. To solve the problem I need to stop all relevant containers then start them up in a specific order.

 

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to solve this issue? Could I set up a few separate networks each only allowing a single address or is there a better way of doing this?

 

Cheers

I am a noob and i have not even gotten that far, i thought on the lot pi hole video they covered something like this.

I've been deep into the bowels of the internet to try and find various idiots guides on this to get what I've got up and running.

 

Mytechnodad has a few guides on YouTube specific to OMV / Docker / Portainer that got me most of the way and the link below pretty much did the rest apart from the container start order issue.

Well I have no idea about your specific situation. BUT, I have needed devices on my network to have static IPs in the past, and I have done this by using the features of my router to reserve IP addresses for specific MAC addresses.

Thanks for the tip.

 

I'll give that a bash. I'll just need to make sure the MAC address for each of the virtual IP addresses doesn't change from time to time.
