Docker 101: List Docker Networks and Inspect the Default Bridge
Explore the container networks of a freshly installed Docker host: find the default network, its subnet and gateway, and the Linux interface behind it.
Focused, hands-on DevOps and server-side problems with hints, feedback, and automated solution checks.
Explore the container networks of a freshly installed Docker host: find the default network, its subnet and gateway, and the Linux interface behind it.
Practice accessing a containerized service directly from the Docker host using its IP address.
Learn the basics of accessing HTTP APIs from the command line: call different endpoints, read the response body, headers, and status code, follow redirects, and request an alternative representation of a server resource.
Practice reading the network configuration of Linux hosts: find interface names, IP and MAC addresses, the default gateway, and detect which routes a server uses to reach different destinations.
Practice discovering what has been published to a remote container repository by listing its tags using crane, regctl, or a direct call to the registry HTTP API.
Practice listing containers and inspecting their state to identify running, exited, and crashed applications - a vital skill for day-to-day operation of containerized systems.
Test your Linux and Networking skills by identifying which port a service is using. Sounds easy? Perhaps, but be careful - you only get one shot!
