docker: Connect a container to a network using a name or ID.
$ docker network connect ${network_name} ${select}
try on your machine

The command "docker network connect ${network_name} ${select}" is used to connect a container to a specific network in Docker.

Here is a breakdown of the command:

  • "docker network connect": This is the main command to connect a container to a network in Docker.
  • "${network_name}": This is a variable that should be replaced with the actual name of the network you want to connect the container to. It represents the network identifier or name.
  • "${select}": This is another variable that should be replaced with the container's name or ID. It represents the container that you want to connect to the network.

By executing this command, you can establish network connectivity between a container and a specific network. This allows the container to communicate with other containers within the same network and also access resources outside the network, like the internet or other networks if configured appropriately.
