How to fix Error response from daemon: failed to create the macvlan port: device or resource busy in Docker

# Remove existing macvlan network
docker network rm my_macvlan_network

# Create ipvlan network instead
docker network create -d ipvlan \
  --subnet=192.168.1.0/24 \
  --gateway=192.168.1.1 \
  -o parent=eth0 \
  my_ipvlan_network

networks:
  my_network:
    driver: ipvlan
    driver_opts:
      parent: eth0
    ipam:
      config:
        - subnet: 192.168.1.0/24
          gateway: 192.168.1.1

# List all Docker networks
docker network ls

# Inspect macvlan networks to see their parent interface
docker network inspect $(docker network ls --filter driver=macvlan -q) 2>/dev/null

# Check for stale macvlan interfaces on the host
ip link show type macvlan

# Check all network interfaces
ip addr show

sudo ip link delete <interface_name>

# Stop all containers using the network
docker stop $(docker ps -q)

# Remove the problematic network
docker network rm <network_name>

# Remove all unused networks
docker network prune -f

# For a complete cleanup, also prune other resources
docker system prune -af

# List all interfaces and their types
ip -d link show

# Look for bridge interfaces (br0, docker0, etc.)
bridge link show 2>/dev/null || ip link show type bridge

# Instead of parent=br0, use:
docker network create -d macvlan \
  --subnet=192.168.1.0/24 \
  --gateway=192.168.1.1 \
  -o parent=eth0 \
  my_macvlan

-o parent=bond0

# Check available interfaces on Synology
ip addr show

# Look for ovs_eth0 instead of eth0

# For Synology DSM
docker network create -d macvlan \
  --subnet=192.168.1.0/24 \
  --gateway=192.168.1.1 \
  -o parent=ovs_eth0 \
  my_macvlan

# Stop all containers first
docker stop $(docker ps -q)

# Restart Docker daemon
sudo systemctl restart docker

# On systems without systemd
sudo service docker restart

# On Synology
sudo synoservice --restart pkgctl-Docker

docker run --network my_macvlan \
  --mac-address 02:42:ac:11:00:02 \
