Rework the --network parse logic to support multiple networks with specific network configuration settings. --network can now be set multiple times. For bridge network mode the following options have been added: - **alias=name**: Add network-scoped alias for the container. - **ip=IPv4**: Specify a static ipv4 address for this container. - **ip=IPv6**: Specify a static ipv6 address for this container. - **mac=MAC**: Specify a static mac address address for this container. - **interface_name**: Specify a name for the created network interface inside the container. So now you can set --network bridge:ip=10.88.0.10,mac=44:33:22:11:00:99 for the default bridge network as well as for network names. This is better than using --ip because we can set the ip per network without any confusion which network the ip address should be assigned to. The --ip, --mac-address and --network-alias options are still supported but --ip or --mac-address can only be set when only one network is set. This limitation already existed previously. The ability to specify a custom network interface name is new Fixes #11534 Signed-off-by: Paul Holzinger <pholzing@redhat.com>

API Reference
The latest online documentation is
automatically generated by two cooperating automation systems based on committed upstream
source code. Firstly, the Cirrus-CI docs task builds
pkg/api/swagger.yaml and uploads it to a public-facing location (Google Storage Bucket -
an online service for storing unstructured data). Second, Read The Docs
reacts to the github.com repository change, building the content for the libpod documentation
site. This site includes for the API section,
some javascript which consumes the uploaded swagger.yaml file directly from the Google
Storage Bucket.
Since there are multiple systems and local cache is involved, it's possible that updates to documentation (especially the swagger/API docs) will lag by 10-or-so minutes. However, because the client (i.e. your web browser) is fetching content from multiple locations that do not share a common domain, accessing the API section may show a stack-trace similar to the following:
If reloading the page, or clearing your local cache does not fix the problem, it is
likely caused by broken metadata needed to protect clients from cross-site-scripting
style attacks. Please notify a maintainer
so they may investigate how/why the swagger.yaml file's CORS-metadata is
incorrect, or the file isn't accessible for some other reason.
Local Testing
Assuming that you have the dependencies installed, then also install (showing Fedora in the example):
# dnf install python3-sphinx python3-recommonmark
# pip install sphinx-markdown-tables
After that completes, cd to the docs directory in your Podman sandbox and then do make html.
You can then preview the html files in docs/build/html with:
python -m http.server 8000 --directory build/html
