Configure and manage Podman networks.
Default Network
When running containers without specifying a network, the default podman network is assigned:
podman network ls
podman network inspect podman
Verify the default network is used:
podman run centos:stream10 /bin/bash -c "dnf -y install iproute; /usr/sbin/ip route"
Commit the image for later use:
podman commit $(podman ps -a | tail -1 | awk '{print $1}') srv.world/iproute
Create a Custom Network
Create a network with a specific subnet:
podman network create --subnet 192.168.100.0/24 network01
podman network ls
Run a container on the custom network:
podman run --network network01 srv.world/iproute /usr/sbin/ip route
Attach and Detach Networks
Attach a network to an existing running container:
podman network connect network01 [CONTAINER_ID]
Verify the new interface:
podman exec [CONTAINER_ID] ip route
Disconnect the network:
podman network disconnect network01 [CONTAINER_ID]
Remove a Network
podman network rm network01
If the network has associated containers, force removal:
podman network rm -f network01
