podman-network-connect(1) General Commands Manual podman-network-connect(1)
NAME
podman-network-connect - Connect a container to a network
SYNOPSIS
podman network connect [options] network container
DESCRIPTION
Connects a container to a network. A container can be connected to a
network by name or by ID. Once connected, the container can communicate
with other containers in the same network.
OPTIONS
--alias=name
Add network-scoped alias for the container. If the network has DNS en-
abled (podman network inspect -f {{.DNSEnabled}} <NAME>), these aliases
can be used for name resolution on the given network. Multiple --alias
options may be specified as input. NOTE: When using CNI, a container
only has access to aliases on the first network that it joins. This lim-
itation does not exist with netavark/aardvark-dns.
--ip=address
Set a static ipv4 address for this container on this network.
--ip6=address
Set a static ipv6 address for this container on this network.
--mac-address=address
Set a static mac address for this container on this network.
EXAMPLE
Connect specified container to a named network:
podman network connect test web
Connect specified container to named network with two aliases:
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
