My Linux have 2 network interface, ens33 is for internet, ens38 is my LAN.

run clonezilla:

docker run -itd --rm  --network=host --name=clonezilla --cap-add=ALL --privileged -e CLLAN=ens38 -e CLLANIP=10.103.19.6 -v /home/partimag/:/home/partimag  tlinux/clonezilla:latest

Notes

DNS

due to docker engine will copy resolv.conf from host to container while running but container would not run system-resolvd, that is fine for container only not for DRBL. drblpush may get error about nameserver missing. To avoid this error, add --dns while you run docker

docker run -itd --rm  --network=host --dns=8.8.8.8 --name=clonezilla --cap-add=ALL --privileged -e CLLAN=ens38 -e CLLANIP=10.103.19.6 -v /home/partimag/:/home/partimag  tlinux/clonezilla:latest
