Driver to manage the network. Currently bridge, macvlan and ipvlan are supported. Defaults to bridge.
As rootless the macvlan and ipvlan driver have no access to the host network interfaces because rootless networking requires a separate network namespace.
The netavark backend allows the use of so called netavark plugins, see the
plugin-API.md
documentation in netavark. The binary must be placed in a specified directory
so podman can discover it, this list is set in netavark_plugin_dirs in
containers.conf(5)
under the [network] section.
The name of the plugin can then be used as driver to create a network for your plugin.
The list of all supported drivers and plugins can be seen with podman info --format {{.Plugins.Network}}.
Note that the macvlan and ipvlan drivers do not support port forwarding. Support for port forwarding
with a plugin depends on the implementation of the plugin.
