  1. Thanks for this, I’m only just getting started, and am planning to run a few containers side by side, hopefully with several of them running traffic through a container running a VPN, and while I had read documentation around this, I was having trouble understanding just by reading it (I have trouble understanding some concepts unless I’ve drawn out a diagram or list or something to demonstrate what I’m trying to understand) so having a few diagrams helps.

  2. I have a question around docker-networking scenario and adding it here due to context. I am setting up 2 instances (AWS ec2) with each running 3 containers of Prometheus/grafana/AlertManager. One of the 3 services needs peering with the other service on different host and I am using docker-compose (not swarm) to set these services up. From what I understood this is not possible with default docker-bridge network that compose brings up to tie this services? I tried exposing the ports but it still tries to refer to the docker ip subnet?
