January 8, 20251 yr I may be in the minority, but I assign IPs to each container on a dedicated Docker VLAN. The challenge the Unraid UI poses is that it doesn't present the allocation table in an organized way. Over a year ago, I posted a feature request to group/sort the containers by network and list them in numerical order by IP address or allow for sorting by IP or ports. That hasn't happened yet, so things are still currently sorted alphabetically by container name. Has anyone found or made a plugin/addon/script that can query the system for all of the allocations and list them out neatly?
January 8, 20251 yr Community Expert +1 For this feature request. My workaround for now is to arrange the containers by IP on the docker page manually, by moving them up/down. So whenever I add a new contaier I first go to the docker page and see what IP is next in line for usage.

The problem with your solution is the order you have them determines the startup order when the array starts up. If you have containers that are dependent on another container, it could cause issues if the dependence isn't started first. Edited January 10, 20251 yr by aglyons
January 9, 20251 yr Community Expert Yeah, I know. But I make sure the startup order is such an order that there won't be any issues. If I find that one container is in the wrong order I just change the IP of one or more containers. It's not an ideal solution, but it works. Edited January 9, 20251 yr by strike
