NAME

podman-network-create - Create a Podman CNI network

SYNOPSIS

podman network create [options] name

DESCRIPTION

Create a CNI-network configuration for use with Podman. At the time of this writing, the only network type that can be created is a bridge network.

If no options are provided, Podman will assign a free subnet and name for your network.

Upon completion of creating the network, Podman will display the path to the newly added network file.

OPTIONS

–disable-dns

Disables the DNS plugin for this network which if enabled, can perform container to container name resolution.

-d, , –driver

Driver to manage the network (default “bridge”). Currently on bridge is supported.

–gateway

Define a gateway for the subnet. If you want to provide a gateway address, you must also provide a subnet option.

–internal

Restrict external access of this network

–ip-range

Allocate container IP from a range. The range must be a complete subnet and in CIDR notation. The ip-range option must be used with a subnet option.

–subnet

The subnet in CIDR notation.

EXAMPLE

Create a network with no options

# podman network create
/etc/cni/net.d/cni-podman-4.conflist

Create a network named newnet that uses 192.5.0.0/16 for its subnet.

# podman network create --subnet 192.5.0.0/16 newnet
/etc/cni/net.d/newnet.conflist

Create a network named newnet that uses 192.168.33.0/24 and defines a gateway as 192.168.133.3

# podman network create --subnet 192.168.33.0/24 --gateway 192.168.33.3 newnet
/etc/cni/net.d/newnet.conflist

Create a network that uses a 192.168.55.0/24* subnet and has an IP address range of 192.168.55.129 - 192.168.55.254.

# podman network create --subnet 192.168.55.0/24 --ip-range 192.168.55.128/25
/etc/cni/net.d/cni-podman-5.conflist
