6.11.5 to 6.12.8 Custom Docker Network (macvlan to ipvlan)

[DepthVader]

Hey all.

 

I have more than a few people who rely on my unraid server and I've been busy so I haven't updated my server in a while. I finally found some time to update it, and if anything goes wrong, I'll have time to either fix or roll back.

 

One question I have that I can't seem to find an answer to is regarding the docker network type changing from macvlan to ipvlan and the impact it will have on a custom docker network.

 

What is the impact, if any at all, to changing the docker network from macvlan to ipvlan on a custom docker network?

 

Lastly, if I change the docker network type to ipvlan while still on 6.11.5, is this a good test to see how my dockers will react or is there other changes in the upgrade that will impact my dockers (from a network perspective)?

 

Thank you all for your help!!

Had issues with mine on one of my Servers and was told to Read: https://docs.unraid.net/unraid-os/release-notes/6.12.4/#fix-for-macvlan-call-traces

It should get you what you need.

Thanks for the reply, Stan! I guess I didn't explain myself well.

 

I created a customer docker network (let's call it "home"), using the instructions provided by Ibracorp here:

 

 

 

I'm wondering how the change to ipvlan will impact this setting as most of my Dockers are on the custom docker network "home" I created.
