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, andnoneare 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
- Click Create Network.
- Enter a name (letters, numbers, and
_ . -). - Choose a driver: Bridge, Overlay, Host, or None.
- 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.
