前面介绍了nginx与php两个容器间是如何进行通信的：
[root@docker ~]# docker run -d --name=php -v /www:/usr/local/nginx/html php
[root@docker ~]# docker run -d --name=nginx --link=php:php -v /www:/usr/local/nginx/html -p 81:80 nginx
[root@docker ~]# docker ps -aCONTAINER ID ???????IMAGE ??????????????COMMAND ?????????????????CREATED ????????????STATUS ?????????????PORTS ???????????????NAMES58280fe851f9 ???????nginx ??????????????"/usr/local/nginx/..." ??15 seconds ago ?????Up 14 seconds ??????0.0.0.0:81->80/tcp ??nginx9ea150c35587 ???????php ????????????????"/usr/local/php/sb..." ??36 seconds ago ?????Up 35 seconds ??????9000/tcp ????????????php
通过容器间的选项--link指定容器名称进行不同容器间的通信（--link container_name或者将container_name取一个别名）
现在使用另外一种方式替代--link来达到容器间的通信：docker network
查看local的网络信息：
[root@docker ~]# docker network lsNETWORK ID ?????????NAME ???????????????DRIVER ?????????????SCOPE5133ec415c3c ???????bridge ?????????????bridge ?????????????localf359ca4e2d39 ???????host ???????????????host ???????????????local8d68673c045c ???????none ???????????????null ???????????????local
现在创建一个网络名为my_net且driver为bridge的网络：（默认创建的就是bridge）
[root@docker ~]# docker network create my_net67e29f0e4a77c79144efc337a081a889188b5b8e289968f22be6e4ddd9b80610[root@docker ~]# docker network lsNETWORK ID ?????????NAME ???????????????DRIVER ?????????????SCOPE5133ec415c3c ???????bridge ?????????????bridge ?????????????localf359ca4e2d39 ???????host ???????????????host ???????????????local67e29f0e4a77 ???????my_net ?????????????bridge ?????????????local8d68673c045c ???????none ???????????????null ???????????????local
利用--network启动容器提供服务：
[root@docker ~]# docker run -d --name=php --network my_net --network-alias php -v /www:/usr/local/nginx/html php6b493cbe8207dee4cb4d5945cfce305dba96914083bd7f46841b0b42376bcb99[root@docker ~]# docker run -d --name=nginx --network my_net --network-alias nginx -v /www:/usr/local/nginx/html -p 80:80 nginx5ab220196b52bb768bef508433f0b920eecee70c3ee47880ebc5e2a74b5ee254
通过选项--network-alias将取名的my_net起了一个别名
[root@docker ~]# docker exec -it nginx ping phpPING php (172.18.0.2) 56(84) bytes of data.64 bytes from php.my_net (172.18.0.2): icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.079 ms64 bytes from php.my_net (172.18.0.2): icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=0.090 ms
这里为啥能够ping通过php这个容器呢，因为这两个容器在同一个网络m‘y_net内，而nginx里面ping的php是容器名（这里管理的是容器级别）
由于能够ping通php，所以在nginx中配置的：
server { ???listen ??80; ???root /usr/local/nginx/html; ???index index.htm index.html index.php; ???location ~ \.php$ { ???????root /usr/local/nginx/html; ???????fastcgi_pass php:9000; ???????fastcgi_index index.php; ???????fastcgi_param ?SCRIPT_FILENAME ?$document_root$fastcgi_script_name; ???????include fastcgi_params; ???} }所以配置文件中的php不会导致nginx启动失败，通过network的driver bridge实现了容器间的访问
上面在容器启动的时候使用的是选项--network，而在compose的配置文件中则是networks，现在通过配置文件来进行阐述该参数的作用：
[root@docker lnmp]# cat lnmp.yml version: ‘3‘services: ?nginx: ???image: nginx ???container_name: lnmp-nginx ???depends_on: ?????- php ???ports: ?????- "80:80" ???networks: ?????- "net1" ???volumes: ?????- "/www:/usr/local/nginx/html" ?php: ???image: php ???container_name: lnmp-php ???expose: ??????- "9000" ???networks: ?????- "net1" ???volumes: ?????- "/www:/usr/local/nginx/html"networks: ?net1: ???driver: bridge
由上述文件中可以知道networks定义了一个名称为net1的网络，由于networks是top-level（顶层级别，所以需要在顶层设置），而在创建的网络时候需要指定driver（单一网络使用bridge，swarm集群使用overlay），而且driver内容不能省略，在nginx和php两个service中使用了同一网络net1，现在将服务启动：
[root@docker lnmp]# docker-compose -f lnmp.yml upCreating network "lnmp_net1" with driver "bridge"Creating lnmp-php ... Creating lnmp-php ... doneCreating lnmp-nginx ... Creating lnmp-nginx ... doneAttaching to lnmp-php, lnmp-nginx
可以看出在启动服务的时候创建了服务级别的网络lnmp_net1
[root@docker lnmp]# docker network lsNETWORK ID ?????????NAME ???????????????DRIVER ?????????????SCOPE5133ec415c3c ???????bridge ?????????????bridge ?????????????localf359ca4e2d39 ???????host ???????????????host ???????????????local29d798852b52 ???????lnmp_net1 ??????????bridge ?????????????local67e29f0e4a77 ???????my_net ?????????????bridge ?????????????local8d68673c045c ???????none ???????????????null ???????????????local
服务nginx和php在网络lnmp_net1实现了互联通信
[root@docker lnmp]# docker-compose -f lnmp.yml exec nginx ping phpPING php (172.19.0.2) 56(84) bytes of data.64 bytes from lnmp-php.lnmp_net1 (172.19.0.2): icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.060 ms
在nginx服务中能够访问php的服务，在compose编排中级别的访问是对service级别的访问，所以在nginx服务配置文件中对应的php能够实现，不会导致nginx启动失败
及在compose的配置文件设置并对应的是service级别，当使用参数links也是配置的php服务，使得nginx服务能够ping通php服务并实现访问通信
[root@docker lnmp]# cat lnmp.ymlversion: ‘3‘services: ?nginx: ???image: nginx ???container_name: lnmp-nginx ???depends_on: ?????- php ???ports: ?????- "80:80" ???links: ?????- php:php ???volumes: ?????- "/www:/usr/local/nginx/html" ?php: ???image: php ???container_name: lnmp-php ???expose: ??????- "9000" ???volumes: ?????- "/www:/usr/local/nginx/html"
将networks参数改为了links参数，使得两个服务能够继续互联访问
[root@docker lnmp]# docker-compose -f lnmp.yml upCreating network "lnmp_default" with the default driverCreating lnmp-php ... Creating lnmp-php ... doneCreating lnmp-nginx ... Creating lnmp-nginx ... doneAttaching to lnmp-php, lnmp-nginx
而且启动的时候创建的默认的网络
[root@docker lnmp]# docker-compose -f lnmp.yml exec nginx ping phpPING php (172.19.0.2) 56(84) bytes of data.64 bytes from lnmp-php.lnmp_default (172.19.0.2): icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.091 ms64 bytes from lnmp-php.lnmp_default (172.19.0.2): icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=0.107 ms
--links也是能够使得服务间进行访问的
现在通过案例讲解参数external_links的作用：external_links类似于links针对的也是service级别，但是external_links对应的是外部的service而不是同一compose配置文件中的service
[root@docker lnmp]# cat lnmp.ymlversion: ‘3‘services: ?nginx: ???image: nginx ???container_name: lnmp-nginx ???depends_on: ?????- php ???ports: ?????- "80:80" ???networks: ?????- "net1" ???volumes: ?????- "/www:/usr/local/nginx/html" ???external_links: ?????- php1:php ?php: ???image: php ???container_name: lnmp-php ???expose: ??????- "9000" ???networks: ?????- "net1" ???volumes: ?????- "/www:/usr/local/nginx/html"networks: ?net1: ???driver: bridge
上面可以看见external_links配置了php1的服务，并且将php1的服务也取别名为了php，然后编写另一个compose配置文件，并配置服务名为php1的服务：
[root@docker lnmp]# cat php1.yml version: ‘3‘services: ?php1: ???image: php ???container_name: lnmp-php1 ???expose: ??????- "9000" ???networks: ?????- "net1" ???volumes: ?????- "/www:/usr/local/nginx/html"networks: ?net1: ???driver: bridge
结合两个compose配置文件，可以知道有nginx、php、php1的服务，并且php1的服务也有php的别名，现在依次开启php1，和nginx与php：
[root@docker lnmp]# docker-compose -f php1.yml upCreating network "lnmp_net1" with driver "bridge"Creating lnmp-php1 ... Creating lnmp-php1 ... doneAttaching to lnmp-php1
[root@docker lnmp]# docker-compose -f lnmp.yml up --buildWARNING: Found orphan containers (lnmp-php1) for this project. If you removed or renamed this service in your compose file, you can run this command with the --remove-orphans flag to clean it up.Creating lnmp-php ... Creating lnmp-php ... doneCreating lnmp-nginx ... Creating lnmp-nginx ... doneAttaching to lnmp-php, lnmp-nginx
查看启动的容器状态：
[root@docker www]# docker ps -aCONTAINER ID ???????IMAGE ??????????????COMMAND ?????????????????CREATED ????????????STATUS ?????????????PORTS ???????????????NAMESa089cd261279 ???????nginx ??????????????"/usr/local/nginx/..." ??25 seconds ago ?????Up 25 seconds ??????0.0.0.0:80->80/tcp ??lnmp-nginx4ff4bf7c1bf9 ???????php ????????????????"/usr/local/php/sb..." ??25 seconds ago ?????Up 25 seconds ??????9000/tcp ????????????lnmp-php4e39cdf62bf1 ???????php ????????????????"/usr/local/php/sb..." ??51 seconds ago ?????Up 51 seconds ??????9000/tcp ????????????lnmp-php1
现在将nginx一起的php的这个服务停止掉，看下nginx服务是否将会被停止：
[root@docker lnmp]# docker-compose -f lnmp.yml stop phpStopping lnmp-php ... done
而在nginx这里的输出如下：
lnmp-php exited with code 0
[root@docker www]# docker ps -aCONTAINER ID ???????IMAGE ??????????????COMMAND ?????????????????CREATED ????????????STATUS ?????????????????????PORTS ???????????????NAMESa089cd261279 ???????nginx ??????????????"/usr/local/nginx/..." ??2 minutes ago ??????Up 2 minutes ???????????????0.0.0.0:80->80/tcp ??lnmp-nginx4ff4bf7c1bf9 ???????php ????????????????"/usr/local/php/sb..." ??2 minutes ago ??????Exited (0) 52 seconds ago ???????????????????????lnmp-php
而php服务对应的容器lnmp-php也停止了，但是nginx的服务却没有停止，为什么呢？那是因为php1的服务并没有停止，而php1的服务也是别名php服务的，而external_links就是实现这种情况的
使一个compose中的服务能与另一个compose中的服务能够互联通信，compose就是service级别的实现，配置文件中对应的都是service级别，而不是容器名
而在另一个compose中也必须定义与之相同的网络名称，也就是说配置external_links时，两者服务间的网络名称必须一致，不然依旧不能进行互相访问
