Experimental Physics and
Industrial Control System

Hello,

I have 3 SoftIOCs.
    1.) local host       = 193.100.100.100 with PV: "local_pv"
    2.) external host  = 192.200.200.200 with PV: "external_pv"
    3.) docker container    on local host   with PV: "docker_pv"

From local host I can read all PVs (caget local_pv external_pv docker_pv). 👍
From inside the docker container I can read the local_pv and the docker_pv
but not the external_pv. 🤔

Here is my docker compose configuration:

services:
    epicsbase:
       image: softioc
       container_name: epicsbase
       volumes:
          - ./epicsbase/db:/usr/local/db
       working_dir: /usr/local/epics
       command:
          - /bin/sh
          - -c
          - |
          echo start first Soft IOC
          screen -d -m /usr/local/epics/epics-base/bin/linux-x86_64/softIoc -D /usr/local/epics/epics-base/dbd/softIoc.dbd -d /usr/local/db/test.db
          tail -f /dev/null # keep alive
       networks:
          - ioc-net
networks:
    ioc-net:

From inside the docker container I have also already tried EPICS_CA_AUTO_ADDR_LIST / EPICS_CA_ADDR_LIST. Unfortunately without success.
With and without these environment variables I only get the local_pv and the docker_pv.

How can I also read the external_pv from inside the docker container?

Best regards
Carsten
