Just tried the Mesos integration, and I’m a little disappointed.

I thought that the Mesos integration would gain the benefits of the Rancher networking, and it seems like it’s not the case.

I created a Mesos env  
I installed the Marathon framework  
I cannot use rancher managed network when I create a new Marathon task using a docker container

Would be nice if it could be possible 🙂

@looztra

The Marathan framework launches the containers directly on the hosts using docker by passing Rancher completely. So the networking option for these containers is NOT ‘managed’.

But we have a solution exactly for this. You have to add a label `io.rancher.container.network:true` while launching these containers and Rancher would know that you are asking for ‘Managed’ networking.

Please do give it a shot and let us know how it goes.

thanks for the tip, I will try that.

Now that both Mesos/Marathon and Rancher use CNI network plugins, it would be nice if Rancher could support the “USER” network mode of Mesos/Marathon 🙂
