Support for netavark was added in Podman v4.0. To configure +the network backend use the `network_backend`key under the `[Network]` in +**[containers.conf(5)](https://github.com/containers/common/blob/master/docs/containers.conf.5.md)**. +New systems should use netavark by default, to check what backed 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. ## COMMANDS -| Command | Man Page | Description | -| ---------- | -------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------- | -| connect | [podman-network-connect(1)](podman-network-connect.1.md) | Connect a container to a network | -| create | [podman-network-create(1)](podman-network-create.1.md) | Create a Podman CNI network | -| disconnect | [podman-network-disconnect(1)](podman-network-disconnect.1.md) | Disconnect a container from a network | -| exists | [podman-network-exists(1)](podman-network-exists.1.md) | Check if the given network exists | -| inspect | [podman-network-inspect(1)](podman-network-inspect.1.md) | Displays the raw CNI network configuration for one or more networks | -| ls | [podman-network-ls(1)](podman-network-ls.1.md) | Display a summary of CNI networks | -| prune | [podman-network-prune(1)](podman-network-prune.1.md) | Remove all unused networks | -| reload | [podman-network-reload(1)](podman-network-reload.1.md) | Reload network configuration for containers | -| rm | [podman-network-rm(1)](podman-network-rm.1.md) | Remove one or more CNI networks | +| Command | Man Page | Description | +| ---------- | -------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------- | +| connect | [podman-network-connect(1)](podman-network-connect.1.md) | Connect a container to a network | +| create | [podman-network-create(1)](podman-network-create.1.md) | Create a Podman network | +| disconnect | [podman-network-disconnect(1)](podman-network-disconnect.1.md) | Disconnect a container from a network | +| exists | [podman-network-exists(1)](podman-network-exists.1.md) | Check if the given network exists | +| inspect | [podman-network-inspect(1)](podman-network-inspect.1.md) | Displays the raw network configuration for one or more networks | +| ls | [podman-network-ls(1)](podman-network-ls.1.md) | Display a summary of networks | +| prune | [podman-network-prune(1)](podman-network-prune.1.md) | Remove all unused networks | +| reload | [podman-network-reload(1)](podman-network-reload.1.md) | Reload network configuration for containers | +| rm | [podman-network-rm(1)](podman-network-rm.1.md) | Remove one or more networks | ## SEE ALSO -**[podman(1)](podman.1.md)** +**[podman(1)](podman.1.md)**, **[containers.conf(5)](https://github.com/containers/common/blob/main/docs/containers.conf.5.md)** |
