unable to initialize gossip mesh, No private IP address found, and explicit IP not provided

[sebastiaan...@wegroup.be]

So I want to run alertmanager as docker in my own docker network like:

```

NAME := alertmanager

IP := 172.32.0.44

docker run -d \

--net production \ 

--ip \"$(IP)\" \

-v /srv/alertmanager/:/alertmanager \

-v /srv/alertmanager-etc/config.yml:/etc/alertmanager/config.yml \

--restart=always \

--name  \"$(NAME)\" \

--dns 172.32.0.2 prom/\"$(NAME)\"

```

But I get this error:

```

level=info ts=2018-07-27T18:20:03.387801651Z caller=main.go:174 msg="Starting Alertmanager" version="(version=0.15.1, branch=HEAD, revision=8397de1830f154535a31150f9262da0072d8725d)"

```

Is there an option to pass the IP as ENV variable?

You can pass the -cluster.advertise-address=CLUSTER.ADVERTISE-ADDRESS option to your container.

docker run ... --storage.path=/alertmanager --cluster.advertise-address="$IP"

Another (better) option would be not to use a public IP range for your Docker network. But I don't know all your requirements.
