Podman is a Docker implementation without the architectural bugs.


and twice the networking bugs


It has this awkward situation where CNI is old and boring and missing just a couple thing, while Netavark/Aardvark is the new shiny Wayland of container networking but can't handle half of the use cases CNI used to handle just fine.

I wanted to have a separate network on a bridge, visible to the host, where IP addresses and DNS would be managed by a dedicated DHCP/DNS service (like what dnsmasq can do). Well imagine, unless you jump through a whole lot of hoops and use macvlan and whatnot, netavark just plain cannot do it.

I heard one could make a netavark plugin quite easily, but interfaces for DNS and IPAM are missing from the puzzle.
