Root Cause

Attempting to use a network driver (e.g., macvlan, ipvlan) that is not available on Windows or certain Linux kernel configurations.

generic

中文

尝试使用在 Windows 或某些 Linux 内核配置上不可用的网络驱动程序（例如 macvlan、ipvlan）。

Workarounds

  1. 95% success Use bridge network driver instead: 'docker network create --driver bridge mynet' for cross-container communication. 
    Use bridge network driver instead: 'docker network create --driver bridge mynet' for cross-container communication.
  2. 80% success On Linux, ensure the kernel module is loaded: 'sudo modprobe macvlan' and check with 'lsmod | grep macvlan'. 
    On Linux, ensure the kernel module is loaded: 'sudo modprobe macvlan' and check with 'lsmod | grep macvlan'.

中文步骤

  1. 改用桥接网络驱动程序：'docker network create --driver bridge mynet' 实现跨容器通信。
  2. 在 Linux 上，确保内核模块已加载：'sudo modprobe macvlan' 并使用 'lsmod | grep macvlan' 检查。

Dead Ends

Common approaches that don't work:

  1. 100% fail

    Installing additional Docker plugins does not enable macvlan on Windows; the driver is Linux-only.

  2. 90% fail

    Switching to Docker Desktop WSL 2 backend on Windows may still not support macvlan due to Hyper-V limitations.
