No internet connection inside Docker containers

I cannot execute any command requiring internet connection inside any Docker container.

Works:

docker run ubuntu /bin/echo 'Hello world'

Does not work:

docker run ubuntu apt-get update

Similar with pip and ping.

I am on Ubuntu 16.04 and not using firewall or corporate proxy server and have tried to restart Docker. Not using docker-machine or boot2docker.

Solution

  • Got answer on SuperUser:

    pkill docker
iptables -t nat -F
ifconfig docker0 down
brctl delbr docker0
docker -d

    "It will force docker to recreate the bridge and reinit all the network rules"
