💅 podman-network-connect 💅

ok so bestie, welcome to podman-network-connect(1) ✨ — yes that's the real name and yes it's from the General Commands Manual. This is the page where your container gets introduced to a whole new network like it's freshman orientation 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

podman-network-connect — literally just Connect a container to a network 💖

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

podman network connect [options] network container

that's it. that's the whole vibe. 🦋

💫 DESCRIPTION 💫

So here's the tea 🍓: this command connects a container to a network. And you can pick that container by name or by ID — whichever one your brain has the bandwidth for today, no judgement 💅.

And once it's connected? the container can communicate with other containers in the same network. that's it. it's in the group chat now. it's mutuals with everybody. iconic behavior honestly 👑

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • --alias=name — adds a network-scoped alias for the container 💖 if the network has DNS enabled (peep it with podman network inspect -f {{.DNSEnabled}} <NAME>), these aliases can be used for name resolution on that given network — on top of the container name, not instead of it, bestie. You can pass --alias multiple times as input, so go off 🎉 check out DNS NOTES in podman-network(1) if you want the full lore.
  • --ip=address — sets a static ipv4 address for this container on this network ✨
  • --ip6=address — sets a static ipv6 address for this container on this network 🌈
  • --mac-address=address — sets a static mac address for this container on this network 🦋

🔥 EXAMPLES 🔥

Connect specified container to a named network — the classic, the blueprint:

podman network connect test web

Connect specified container to named network with two aliases — she has range:

podman network connect --alias web1 --alias web2 test web

Connect specified container to named network with a static ip:

podman network connect --ip 10.89.1.13 test web

Connect specified container to named network with a static mac address:

podman network connect --mac-address 92:d0:c6:0a:29:33 test web
