From a2d15d98161af5c31e6820e7950604d1379dc858 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: rugk Date: Fri, 9 Jul 2021 14:20:27 +0200 Subject: Mention new hostname for loopback IP The hostname `host.containers.internal` is way easier to remember and should IMHO be preferred to be used, as it is: a) easier to remember than some random IP b) if the IP changes some time in the future the container will continue to work And explain hostname adding in more detail As per @mheon's suggestion. And explain hostname adding *reason* Also implies an suggestion for using the hostname instead. And port change from podman-create man page to podman-run, too Signed-off-by: rugk --- docs/source/markdown/podman-create.1.md | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'docs/source/markdown/podman-create.1.md') diff --git a/docs/source/markdown/podman-create.1.md b/docs/source/markdown/podman-create.1.md index 2c51b312d..f56b363e0 100644 --- a/docs/source/markdown/podman-create.1.md +++ b/docs/source/markdown/podman-create.1.md @@ -646,7 +646,7 @@ Valid _mode_ values are: - **ns:**_path_: path to a network namespace to join; - **private**: create a new namespace for the container (default) - **slirp4netns[:OPTIONS,...]**: use **slirp4netns**(1) to create a user network stack.
