netavark - Man Page
Configure a given network namespace for use by a container
Synopsis
netavark [options] command network namespace path
Description
Netavark configures a network namespace according to a configuration read from STDIN. The configuration is JSON formatted.
Global Options
--file, -f
Instead of reading from STDIN, read the configuration to be applied from the given file. -f - may also be used to flag reading from STDIN.
Commands
netavark setup
The setup command configures the given network namespace with the given configuration, creating any interfaces and firewall rules necessary.
netavark teardown
The teardown command is the inverse of the setup command, undoing any configuration applied. Some interfaces may not be deleted (bridge interfaces, for example, will not be removed).
Configuration Format
The configuration accepted is the same for both setup and teardown. It is JSON formatted.
Format is https://github.com/containers/podman/blob/cd7b48198c38c5028540e85dc72dd3406f4318f0/libpod/network/types/network.go#L164-L173 but we will also send a Networks array including all the network definitions (https://github.com/containers/podman/blob/cd7b48198c38c5028540e85dc72dd3406f4318f0/libpod/network/types/network.go#L32-L62) TODO: Transcribe configuration into here in a nice tabular format
Example
netavark setup /run/user/1000/podman/netns/d11d1f9c499d
netavark -f /run/podman/828b0508ae64.conf teardown /run/podman/netns/828b0508ae64
