If you happen to be a (Linux) power user travelling on a Deutsche Bahn [ICE
|
|
long-distance train][ice] and you wonder why you don't get a working network
|
|
connection with the complimenatary "WIFIonICE" wireless network, there may be a
|
|
network interference on your laptop.
|
|
|
|
There are multiple solutions for this on the web. My favorite solution is to
|
|
change Docker's network configuration by editing (or creating) the file
|
|
`/etc/docker/daemons.json`. However, you may need to prune existing Docker
|
|
networks first. Otherwise the Docker service will fail to start with the
|
|
following message:
|
|
|
|
```plain
|
|
failed to start daemon: Error initializing network controller: error creating default "bridge" network: all predefined address pools have been fully subnetted
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Therefore, I recommend the following steps (this is on a Fedora Linux system with *systemd*):
|
|
|
|
1. Stop any docker containers that you may have running, including services managed by docker compose.
|
|
2. Prune the networks:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
docker network prune
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
3. Create or edit `/etc/docker/daemon.json` so that it contains the following:
|
|
|
|
```plain
|
|
{
|
|
"default-address-pools":
|
|
[
|
|
{"base":"172.19.0.0/16","size":24}
|
|
]
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
4. Restart docker:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
systemctl restart docker
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
5. Connect to `WIFIonICE` and enjoy your network connection :-)

- If you don't want to or cannot configure your Docker networks, you can also
|
|
turn Docker off and on again when you travel:

|
This is what I used to do myself, but nowadays I prefer to just configure the
|
|
Docker network differently.
