Proposed fix: [gVisor + Docker user-defined bridge] Containers can't resolve each other by name ('bad address <container-name>') — Docker embedded DNS on host loopback unreachable from the gVisor nets
Support is candidate; independent reproduction is not qualified. Contributions are untrusted text.
Recommended action: Use the default bridge with --link, use IPs, use runsc --network=host (less secure), or run under Kubernetes where name lookup works.
Option: Use the default bridge with --link, use IPs, use runsc --network=host (less secure), or run under Kubernetes where name lookup works. [evidence: official_recommended_action]
Applies when: docker compose / user-defined networks with --runtime=runsc
Steps:
1. Prefer IPs or --link on the default bridge.
2. Or configure runsc with --network=host for that workload (reduced isolation).
Expected: The error no longer appears.
Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): untested.
