Hello, I have a problem with the link of containers. In Rancher 1.1 all was fine, but after upgrade to 1.2, the problem is that I have ping to ip of containers but not to the hostname of it.
My docker-compose is similiar to this:
I am finding the same issue. Making Rancher unusable. Just glad this was still in testing or I would be in trouble.
I have a number of services defined in a “Backend” stack, and I link to these in my “WebServers” stack. However, many of the links so not work, returning “host not found” if I try to ping from the container.
If I then Edit the service and change the link, save it then change it back to what it should be it might work, but then other links stop working.
The only solution that I found is copy the docker-compose.yml and the do a docker-compose up -d
In this way, works, without “stack management on docker UI”. I noticed that in this last case, the file in /etc/hosts has the ip and names of other containers. Elsewhere when create a stack with rancher UI, the file in /etc/hosts inside container it isn’t have the names and ips of linked containers in order to resolve to each one…
After upgrading from 1.1.4 to 1.3.1 I am also running into similar issues. When the target is within the same stack it appears to work for me, but when it is in a separate stack the alias does not work.
I was forced to not use target alias and go with the full DNS entry: “service_name.stack_name”
