Networks
Create and manage Docker networks and their container connections.
Use this page to list networks, create new ones, and connect or disconnect containers.
Network list
Each row shows the name, driver, scope, attached container count, and subnet. Built-in networks such as bridge, host, and none are flagged so you do not delete them by mistake.
Create a network
Pick a name and driver
On Docker runtimes, choose bridge, host, overlay, macvlan, or none. Apple Container does not expose the driver picker.
Configure IPAM (optional)
Set the subnet, gateway, and IP range if you need custom addressing.
Labels (optional)
Add key-value labels when you want to organize or automate the network later.
Overlay networks require Swarm mode on the daemon.
Connect and disconnect containers
Open a network, choose Connect Container, then pick the target container and optional alias. Use Disconnect from the same view to remove the container from the network.
Inspect a network
Open Inspect to review the network JSON, including the driver options, IPAM settings, and connected containers with their IP addresses and aliases.
Delete and prune
Delete removes a single network after you disconnect the attached containers. Prune removes every network that is not used by at least one container.
Built-in networks (bridge, host, none) cannot be deleted. Prune skips them automatically.
