NAME
netavark - Configure a given network namespace for use by a container

SYNOPSIS
netavark [options] command network namespace path

DESCRIPTION
Netavark configures a network namespace according to a configuration read from STDIN. The configuration is JSON formatted.

GLOBAL OPTIONS

  --file, -f
Instead of reading from STDIN, read the configuration to be applied from the given file. -f - may also be used to flag reading from STDIN.

COMMANDS

  netavark create
The create command takes a partially configured network and completes the remaining configuration. The create command input is describled in netavark-create-input.md ⟨https://github.com/containers/netavark/blob/main/docs/netavark-create-input.md⟩. The output of the create command is a network config json.

  netavark setup
The setup command configures the given network namespace with the given configuration, creating any interfaces and firewall rules necessary.

  netavark teardown
The teardown command is the inverse of the setup command, undoing any configuration applied. Some interfaces may not be deleted (bridge interfaces, for example, will not be removed).

  CONFIGURATION FORMAT
The configuration accepted is the same for both setup and teardown. It is JSON formatted.

Format is https://github.com/containers/podman/blob/cd7b48198c38c5028540e85dc72dd3406f4318f0/libpod/network/types/network.go#L164-L173 but we will also send a Networks array including all the network definitions (https://github.com/containers/podman/blob/cd7b48198c38c5028540e85dc72dd3406f4318f0/libpod/network/types/network.go#L32-L62) TODO: Transcribe configuration into here in a nice tabular format

EXAMPLE
netavark setup /run/user/1000/podman/netns/d11d1f9c499d

netavark -f /run/podman/828b0508ae64.conf teardown /run/podman/netns/828b0508ae64
