Docker Containers cannot access the internet

I recently changed my ISP, after changing them I installed a fresh ZimaOS on my server. I can ping google and other sites from the web terminal, even install apps from the appstore (the images download fine). This means at least ZimaOS is getting connected to the internet properly, but no apps can access the internet. Like I can’t use qbittorrent to download anything, Jellyfin can’t pull any metadata from the internet for the media in the library.

As its a fresh install, its unlikely to be a firewall issue, but I checked every rule and everything seems fine to me. I’ve no idea whats wrong. Any suggestions are very helpful.

Edit: The containers seem to be able to access the internet through the remote access option of the Zima Client android app. I was not able to set up a new Jellyfin account through local host, but was able to do so throught the Zima Client.

Since network connectivity varies from region to region and from ISP to ISP, you may be able to test network connectivity using some tools.

For example, the Chrome browser in the BigBear store can be used to perform this type of test intuitively. (The ZimaOS supports installing Docker apps from third-party stores. It also supports manual installation of apps from yaml file/CLI.)

At the same time, network modes such as Host are also options worth trying.

You can change the network settings in the app settings panel.

Looking forward to your feedback.

Yeah that’s what ended up fixing it. Dk why the bridge was failing even after a clean install, so shifted all my containers to host mode.

Thank you!
