Communication across servers

[srinisubramanian]

I have services running in 2 services and ideally would like to run an extra nginx on each server and load balance the app across servers ... kind of an active/active loadbalancer managing apps across servers.

But using container names i am unable to address them across servers .. teh only way seems to be to map the ports on the host and then use the hosts IP to access .. this does create trouble on publicly hosted servers. For e.g i need to also share REDIS, MySQL database etc.

Suggestions?

I did read about setting up docker network bridges and attaching them to containers. But this does not seem to be possible via UI or automation? Doing this manually everytime is not feasible. Any suggestions?
