Description

I am deploying a number of containers all of which have a static mac address assigned so that i can create firewall rules and allow access to various devices and internet.

The compose i am using is detailed as below

version: "3.8"
services:
  pihole0:
    container_name: pihole0
    build:
      context: /share/docker/build/pihole/
      dockerfile: /share/docker/build/pihole/Dockerfile
    image: mypihole/pihole-unbound:latest
    hostname: pihole0
    domainname: lan.prcomputers.co.uk
    mac_address: 02:42:df:bb:cf:e1
    ports:
      - 443:443/tcp
      - 53:53/tcp
      - 53:53/udp
      - 80:80/tcp
      - 2222:2222/tcp
      - 9167:9167/tcp
    environment:
      .....
    networks:
      qnet-static-eth4:
        ipv4_address: 
    volumes:
      - /share/docker/volumes/pihole0/config/pihole:/etc/pihole/
      - /share/docker/volumes/pihole0/config/dnsmasq.d:/etc/dnsmasq.d/
      - /share/docker/volumes/pihole0/config/gravity-sync/:/config/gravity-sync/
    restart: unless-stopped
networks:
  qnet-static-eth4:
    external: true

When i run an inspect on the container the mac address is different from that in the compose file

"NetworkID": "a4b2f965df64726ab956f048f258593f6561eb465030e441c6201df7c767dae7",
                    "EndpointID": "ecb2a0603762b97355671c7057712020b1c9a4685199df5aa3cea5f393761610",
                    "Gateway": "XXXXXXXXXX",
                    "IPAddress": "XXXXXXXXXX",
                    "IPPrefixLen": 24,
                    "IPv6Gateway": "",
                    "GlobalIPv6Address": "",
                    "GlobalIPv6PrefixLen": 0,
                    "MacAddress": "02:42:a5:12:6b:d8",
                    "DriverOpts": null

If i restart the container the mac address changes but should remain static to what is set in compose file

                    "NetworkID": "a4b2f965df64726ab956f048f258593f6561eb465030e441c6201df7c767dae7",
                    "EndpointID": "32e43880c270bbd62eb09cf9c91dc77490f59846c388a70c3dada6019246c3d7",
                    "Gateway": "192.168.10.1",
                    "IPAddress": "192.168.10.200",
                    "IPPrefixLen": 24,
                    "IPv6Gateway": "",
                    "GlobalIPv6Address": "",
                    "GlobalIPv6PrefixLen": 0,
                    "MacAddress": "02:42:4f:e1:3a:97",
                    "DriverOpts": null

This code was lifted from an existing deployment which worked without issue and kept the same mac address when i deployed directly with docker compose

👟 Reproduction steps

Created compose file with mac_address parameter
Deployed container
Checked mac_address with docker inspect pihole0

👀 Expected behavior

The mac address should remain static when specified in compose file and between docker restarts

😓 Actual Behavior

The mac address changes each time contain is restarted

Realised i was not on latest version of Dockge v1.3.3

Deployed latest version of dockge from v1.2.0 and issue is no longer present and container keeps static mac address as per parameter.

[paulrobinsontkd]

Tried again this morning and redeployed same container from Dockge and it was given a new mac address.

Deployed with compose directly from OS and it was given the correct mac address so something is still not right

[louislam]

I think you should reconfirm this, because Dockge is just running a command "docker compose up -d" for you. Nothing special.

It could be a bug of docker compose v2.

[paulrobinsontkd]

I have just created a new grafana container in Dockge and deployed using the following compose

version: "3.5"
services:
  grafana:
    image: grafana/grafana:latest
    container_name: grafana
    mac_address: 02:42:19:19:c3:c8
    ports:
      - 3000:3000
    networks:
      qnet-static-eth4:
        ipv4_address: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
    environment:
      - GF_SECURITY_ADMIN_USER=admin
      - GF_SECURITY_ADMIN_PASSWORD=XXXXXXXXXXXXX
    volumes:
      - data:/var/lib/grafana
      - config:/etc/grafana
    restart: unless-stopped
    labels:
      - com.centurylinklabs.watchtower.enable=true
networks:
  qnet-static-eth4:
    external: true
volumes:
  data:
    driver: local
    driver_opts:
      o: bind
      type: none
      device: /share/docker/volumes/grafana/data
  config:
    driver: local
    driver_opts:
      o: bind
      type: none
      device: /share/docker/volumes/grafana/config

When i run a docker inspect the mac address is not the same as the parameter specified

                    ],
                    "NetworkID": "a4b2f965df64726ab956f048f258593f6561eb465030e441c6201df7c767dae7",
                    "EndpointID": "6ab18cf070c5cf0ae7c255d570b09bf19f4d3f2df293a5b261ee48bac27b2a0d",
                    "Gateway": "192.168.10.1",
                    "IPAddress": "192.168.10.205",
                    "IPPrefixLen": 24,
                    "IPv6Gateway": "",
                    "GlobalIPv6Address": "",
                    "GlobalIPv6PrefixLen": 0,
                    **"MacAddress": "02:42:ff:4b:ea:8c",**
                    "DriverOpts": null
                }
            }

If i then delete and recreate the container from the OS using the compose file generated by dockge i have no issues

[admin@qnap ~]# docker stop grafana
[admin@qnap ~]# docker rm grafana
[admin@qnap ~]# cd /share/docker/stacks/grafana
[admin@qnap grafana]# docker compose -f compose.yaml up -d
[+] Running 1/1
 ⠿ Container grafana  Started

[admin@qnap grafana]# docker inspect grafana

                    "NetworkID": "a4b2f965df64726ab956f048f258593f6561eb465030e441c6201df7c767dae7",
                    "EndpointID": "5aaec3e574af14fe06792b439b11e3a3c4df47139dbd1f806ee2ed115382fcd9",
                    "Gateway": "192.168.10.1",
                    "IPAddress": "192.168.10.205",
                    "IPPrefixLen": 24,
                    "IPv6Gateway": "",
                    "GlobalIPv6Address": "",
                    "GlobalIPv6PrefixLen": 0,
                    **"MacAddress": "02:42:19:19:c3:c8",**
                    "DriverOpts": null
                }
            }
        }
    }
]

So something is not right for me when i deploy using Dockge as the mac_address is not being configured to what i use in compose file. I can deploy from OS and everything works correctly but it kind of defeats the object of me using Dockge

[louislam]

Should be an upstream bug: docker/compose#11041

What is your docker compose version on your host?

docker compose version

Edit: They said it has been fixed, but haven't release it yet. I will update it once they released the fixed.

At this moment, you should keep using your host's docker-compose and don't update it.

[paulrobinsontkd]

[admin@qnap grafana]# docker compose version
Docker Compose version v2.14.1-qnap1

[louislam]

Yes, your version is older.

Dockge is using the newer version 2.21.0 which contains this bug.

We should wait until they released the bug fix.
