The setup isn't complicated:
Code: Select all
/interface veth
add address=192.168.88.2/24 gateway=192.168.88.1 name=veth1
/ip address
add address=192.168.88.1/24 interface=bridge1 comment="the router itself"
add address=192.168.88.2/24 interface=bridge1 comment="container veth"
/interface bridge port
add bridge=bridge1 interface=veth1
/container
add interface=veth1 logging=yes start-on-boot=yes
Although this is an RB4011, I'm using it as a glorified switch, without any firewall rules of consequence.
The new .2 IP does ping, but attempting to connect to the containerized service gives a "connection refused" error.
Why doesn't this work? Is there anything I can change to make it work? NAT's rather silly for this purpose, IMHO.
