Comment on How to physically isolate a camera with OpenWRT, tagged VLANs and Docker

Networking headaches are the main reason why I’ve done everything I can to get away from docker. I’ve had easier times spinning up an LXC container and building from source than I have had fighting with docker networking.

In this particular case it wasn’t Docker that gave me the headaches, it was OpenWRT and wrapping my head around tagged VLANs.
Once you have the VLANs working on the router and the tagged interfaces up on the server, pointing a Docker network or an LXC at the
eth0.100interface is equally easy.Now, when I first got the camera I was considering adding a PCI network card to the server and plugging the camera into that, so it would be directly hardwired into the machine running the NVR. If I had done that I was given to understand that taking ownership of a physical NIC would have been much easier with LXC than with Docker.
(We’ll never know because I couldn’t find the PCI network card.)

Are you familiar with the OSI model? I would learn layer 2 vs layer 3 before getting to far in the weeds
