💅 podman-network-rm(1) bestie walkthrough 🎀

We're gonna go through it together, bestie — every flag, every status code, every example, so you don't have to guess. 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

podman-network-rm — remove one or more networks. iconic deletion behavior ✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

podman network rm [options] [network...]

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Delete one or more Podman networks. Simple concept, powerful energy — you point it at network names, and it removes them. That's the tea. 🍵

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• --force, -f — big warning energy: this option removes all containers that use the named network. If a container is running, it gets stopped and removed too. So yeah, it's giving "clean slate" but make sure you actually want that 💀.
• --ignore, -i — ignore the error when a specified network does not exist. Other failures, including a network being in use, are still returned. so it's only forgiving about the missing-network situation — not about everything else, iykyk.
• --time, -t=seconds — seconds to wait before forcibly stopping the running containers that are using the specified network. The --force option must be specified to use the --time option. Use -1 for infinite wait. patience is a virtue, but only with --force 🕰️

🌈 EXAMPLES 🌈

Delete specified network:

# podman network rm podman9
podman9

Delete specified network and all containers associated with the network:

# podman network rm -f fred
fred

Delete specified network and all containers associated with the network after waiting up to 15 seconds:

# podman network rm --force --time 15 fred
fred

🔥 Exit Status 🔥

• 0 — All specified networks removed slay, clean exit ✅
• 1 — One of the specified networks did not exist, and no other failures
• 2 — The network is in use by a container or a Pod
• 125 — The command fails for any other reason
