If I enter in a terminal:

I'm not sure, where they all come from.



My problem is, that, if I want to use a public network (train, airports and so on), they normally run on 172.xx -> normally it's already used by a bridge, so I first have to bring it down and then delete it, as described in my blog



sudo ip link set br-bcc4b1218247 down
sudo brctl delbr br-bcc4b1218247


I also read, that if you use the Ubuntu Network Manager, they can all come back.



I was trying to understand, where they come from but I haven't understood it yet really.

    Docker tends to make a lot of bridges sometimes if you let it. Those sound and look a lot like Docker-created bridges, but Vagrant could be at fault too

    Unfortunately, you can't really stop Docker or Vagrant from making bridges; the bridges are used to 'bridge' containers and virtual envs to your internet in a way that lets them have network connectivity. Both Docker and Vagrant tend to do this (VBox creates vboxnet interfaces that act as the bridges but once created doesn't create more), and there's really no way to truly shut the functionality off without recoding how the vagrant systems and docker containers are brought up within their compose / config files.

I'm not sure, where they all come from.



My problem is, that, if I want to use a public network (train, airports and so on), they normally run on 172.xx -> normally it's already used by a bridge, so I first have to bring it down and then delete it, as described in my blog



sudo ip link set br-bcc4b1218247 down
sudo brctl delbr br-bcc4b1218247


I also read, that if you use the Ubuntu Network Manager, they can all come back.



I was trying to understand, where they come from but I haven't understood it yet really.







networking 18.04 network-manager network-bridge

    Docker tends to make a lot of bridges sometimes if you let it. Those sound and look a lot like Docker-created bridges, but Vagrant could be at fault too

  • are they needed? and: does it make sense to allow docker to make bridges? and how can i stop docker doing it?

    Unfortunately, you can't really stop Docker or Vagrant from making bridges; the bridges are used to 'bridge' containers and virtual envs to your internet in a way that lets them have network connectivity. Both Docker and Vagrant tend to do this (VBox creates vboxnet interfaces that act as the bridges but once created doesn't create more), and there's really no way to truly shut the functionality off without recoding how the vagrant systems and docker containers are brought up within their compose / config files.
