[ 常見問題 ] How can I set a static IP address in a Docker container?

Source From Here 
Question 
I'm perfectly happy with the IP range that docker is giving me by default (176.17.x.x), so I don't need to create a new bridge, I just want to give my containers a static address within that range so I can point client browsers to it directly. 

How-To 
I used the method written here in the official Docker documentation and I confirm it's working: 

# docker images
# d run -it --rm --net=none johnklee/hadoop_centos_base:v1 /bin/bash // Run container on image johnklee/hadoop_centos_base:v1

// At another shell, learn the container process ID
// and create its namespace entry in /var/run/netns/
// for the "ip netns" command we will be using below
# docker ps
CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES
6f072051949b johnklee/hadoop_centos_base:v1 "/bin/bash" About a minute ago Up About a minute prickly_lumiere // Container ID = 6f072051949b
# d inspect -f '{{.State.Pid}}' 6f072051949b
73172
# mkdir -p /var/run/netns
# ln -sf /proc/73172/ns/net /var/run/netns/73172

// Check the bridge's IP address and netmask
# ip addr show docker0
3: docker0: mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state DOWN
link/ether 02:42:ff:5d:2b:07 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
inet 172.17.42.1/16 scope global docker0
...

// Create a pair of "peer" interfaces A and B,
// bind the A end to the bridge, and bring it up
# ip link add A type veth peer name B
# brctl addif docker0 A
# ip link set A up

// Place B inside the container's network namespace,
// rename to eth0, and activate it with a free IP
# ip link set B netns 73172
# ip netns exec 73172 ip link set dev B name eth0
# ip netns exec 73172 ip link set eth0 up
# ip netns exec 73172 ip addr add 172.17.42.100/16 dev eth0
# ip netns exec 73172 ip route add default via 172.17.42.1

// Back to docker container terminal to confirm the setting is working
