mlapaglia Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 When I move files across the network and fully saturate my eth0 connection the docker container network performance suffers. I'd have a 4x NIC card I'd like to put the docker traffic on. From what I've read this isn't possible if both of the NICs use the same gateway. I only have one subnet on my network though. What is a good approach for separating unRAID traffic from docker? Quote Link to comment
buzzinh Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 I too would like to do this. I have tried in the past with my quad nic and the outbound traffic from docker always goes out eth0 (my onboard nic) regardless. Quote Link to comment
O_M_R Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Went down this rabbit hole a bit. Not sure if this will help you. On mine, I have a 10GB as my "main" link eth0. Then eth3 is a 1GB nic. I attached the 1GB nic to an extra port on my router, and made a new interface and allowed the two subnets to talk to one another, and I plan on separating where each subnets WAN traffic goes. But, a by-product is I can use either br0 or br3 for dockers for them to go to either nic. Either that, or just bond all your available bandwidth and call it a day. Quote Link to comment
