podman-network(1) General Commands Manual podman-network(1) NAME podman-network - Manage Podman networks SYNOPSIS podman network subcommand DESCRIPTION The network command manages networks for Podman. Podman supports two network backends Netavark and CNI. Netavark is the default network backend and was added in Podman version 4.0. CNI is deprecated and will be removed in the next major Podman version 5.0, in preference of Netavark. To configure the network backend use the net- work_backend key under the [Network] in containers.conf(5). New sys- tems use netavark by default, to check what backend is used run podman info --format {{.Host.NetworkBackend}}. All network commands work for both backends but CNI and Netavark use different config files so networks have to be created again after a backend change.

The default values used by Podman can be modified in the containers.conf(5) file. Podman network The default bridge network (called podman) uses 10.88.0.0/16 as a sub- net. When Podman runs as root, the podman network is used as default. It is the same as adding the option --network bridge or --network pod- man. This subnet can be changed in containers.conf(5) under the [net- work] section. Set the default_subnet to any subnet that is free in the environment. The name of the default network can also be changed from podman to another name using the default network key. Note that this is only done when no containers are running. Pasta Pasta by default performs no Network Address Translation (NAT) and copies the IPs from your main interface into the container namespace. If pasta cannot find an interface with the default route, it will se- lect an interface if there is only one interface with a valid route. If you do not have a default route and several interfaces have defined routes, pasta will be unable to figure out the correct interface and it will fail to start. To specify the interface, use -i option to pasta. A default set of pasta options can be set in containers.conf(5) under the [network] section with the pasta_options key. The default rootless networking tool can be selected in contain- ers.conf(5) under the [network] section with default_rootless_net- work_cmd, which can be set to pasta (default) or slirp4netns. Slirp4netns Slirp4nents uses 10.0.2.0/24 for its default network. This can also be changed in containers.conf(5) but under the [engine] section. Use the network_cmd_options key and add ["cidr=X.X.X.X/24"] as a value. Note that slirp4netns needs a network prefix size between 1 and 25. This op- tion accepts an array, so more options can be added in a comma-sepa- rated string as described on the podman-network-create(1) man page. To change the CIDR for just one container, specify it on the cli using the --network option like this: --network slirp4netns:cidr=192.168.1.0/24. Podman network create When a new network is created with a podman network create command, and no subnet is given with the --subnet option, Podman starts picking a free subnet from 10.89.0.0/24 to 10.255.255.0/24. Use the default_sub- net_pools option under the [network] section in containers.conf(5) to change the range and/or size that is assigned by default.
