UI Guide

Networks

Create Docker networks and connect or disconnect containers from the UI.

The Networks page manages Docker networks on the host. FlatRun uses shared external networks to wire deployments to the reverse proxy and shared infrastructure, and this page lets you inspect and manage them.

Network List

  • Name (system networks like bridge, host, and none are dimmed)
  • Network ID (short hash)
  • Driver — bridge, overlay, host, or none
  • Scope — local or swarm
  • Subnet and gateway (when available)
  • Connected containers with their IPs

Creating a Network

  1. Click Create Network.
  2. Enter a name (letters, numbers, and _ . -).
  3. Choose a driver: Bridge, Overlay, Host, or None.
  4. Confirm.

Connecting Containers

  • Connect — attach a container to a network by name.
  • Disconnect — detach a container from a network.
System networks are protected. The built-in bridge, host, and none networks cannot be deleted, and connect/disconnect is disabled for them.

Shared External Networks

Deployments expect pre-created external networks (for example a web proxy network and a database network). These are configured under Settings → Infrastructure; see Infrastructure for the model.
