    NIC Separation between UnRaid/Dockers/VM's etc

    in General Support

    Posted · Edited by CharcoaI

    @ken-ji Thanks for the reply Ken. Could I get you to elaborate slightly?

     

    • "Docker networking will not allow more than one interface on the same subnet."

    Do you mean that within a single subnet (eg 192.168.0.1/24) you can only use a single NIC (eg Eth0) for all the dockers within that same subnet?

     

    If so, what can be done to mitigate the potential for contention where multiple dockers and/or services are being pushed through a single ethernet port? I've seen many posts about running media servers through Docker as the 'ideal' scenario (and I tend to agree from my readings).

     

    Thanks!

    (Using UnRaid 6.5.3)
    Hey everyone,

     

    I've been doing lots of reading, but I'm still not confident on what I need to do, or if it's even possible...

    I have just finished setting up an UnRaid server, following SpaceInvader's YouTube guides. I'm at the point now though, where I'm splitting off from the guide and could really use some help.

     

    In my physical server, I have 6 NIC's.

    2x are on the motherboard

    4x are attached via an intel PCIe add-in card.

    I can see that the 2x mobo NIC's are joined into IOMMU group (Group 13), and the 4x PCIe NIC's are joined on another different IOMMU group (Group 1).

     

    What I would ideally like to do is separate the main 'functions' of the server between the different NICs. EG:

    Eth0: UnRaid file server

    Eth1: Plex media server

    Eth2: Windows VM

    Eth3: [Surveillance - need to do more research here].

     

    • From what I can find, it looks like some users have mentioned 'Pipework' to accomplish the above. This was 2 years ago on prior UnRaid releases, and after reading the thread - didn't inspire much confidence in exactly what I would need to do.
    • I've also seen guides about creating VLAN's... Which again doesn't help me as I don't need each service running on a different subnet... Just on their own interface.
    • Depending on bandwidth requirements (eg 4+ Plex streams) I would also like to know if its possible to aggregate 2 ports to increase bandwidth (I'm probably pushing it here).

     

    Any help, links or advice would be greatly appreciated!

    Thanks
