Publish a container's port, or range of ports, to the host.
Both hostPort and containerPort can be specified as a range of ports.

If host IP is set to 0.0.0.0 or not set at all, the port will be bound on all IPs on the host.
+By default, Podman will publish TCP ports. To publish a UDP port instead, give
+`udp` as protocol. To publish both TCP and UDP ports, set `--publish` twice,
+with `tcp`, and `udp` as protocols respectively. Rootful containers can also
+publish ports using the `sctp` protocol.

Host port does not have to be specified (e.g. `podman run -p 127.0.0.1::80`).
If it is not, the container port will be randomly assigned a port on the host.

stacks act like the network stack on the host - you have a variety of containers in the pod,
and programs in the container, all sharing a single interface and IP address, and
