getting started

network

By default podman creates a bridge names podman. View the available networks with podman network ls and see the details for a network with podman network inspect NETWORK_NAME.

I don’t see a way to inspect the bridge with system level tools (like brctl, ifconfig, or ip). To restrict the containers to a specific interface (in a multi-homed system), I think the macvlan or ipvlan options would be necessary. As of the time I’m writing this, macvlanand ipvlan don’t support port forwarding. I’m not entirely sure how that affects my uses yet.

pods

Creating and using pods is simple:

$ podman pod create PODNAME
$ podman run --pod PODNAME -it docker.io/library/busybox

More can be added to the pod creation to limit resources.
