Host DNS not working with docker container

Question

I have a probleme with docker on my archlinux kernel Linux 4.19.31-1-lts #1 SMP Sun Mar 24 09:29:16 CET 2019 x86_64 GNU/Linux

$ docker info return :

$ docker info

$ ip a look like :

Docker is correctly bridged :

$ docker run alpine ping 8.8.8.8

But dns is not working :

$ docker run alpine ping google.com                                                                                                                                                        
ping: bad address 'google.com'

/etc/dnsmasq.conf look like :

address=/local.lan/127.0.0.1
user=nobody
group=nobody
no-dhcp-interface=
# listen-address=127.0.0.1,172.18.0.1
interface=lo
interface=docker0
bind-interfaces
log-dhcp
log-queries
log-facility=/var/log/dnsmasq.log

/etc/resolv.conf look like :

#Generated by NetworkManager
search 8.8.4.4
nameserver 192.168.1.1
nameserver 127.0.0.1
nameserver 172.18.0.1

When i do a docker run alpine ping google.com i can see with log file that dnsmasq correcty resolve dns. Any ideas ?

Edit 1 :

docker run --rm -it alpine cat /etc/resolv.conf say :

# Generated by NetworkManager
search 8.8.4.4
nameserver 192.168.1.1
nameserver 172.18.0.1

Solution

Looks like you forgot to configure IPv6 on the Docker network.

You're right, all my problems gone away, solution is :

In /etc/dhcpcd.conf remove or comment :

noipv4ll

Then restart docker :

sudo systemctl restart docker

I googled that but i don't find anything, please can you tell me more ?

[Zoredache]

If you what does your /etc/resolv.conf look like inside an alpine container? docker run --rm -it alpine cat /etc/resolv.conf

[papanito]

I had exactly the same issue and your solution helped me.
