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 enabled (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 limitation 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
