[Podman] Re: Networking between KVM and containers

Hi, I have a host running Debian Bullseye (Podman v3.0.1). On that host, I run an OPNsense VM via KVM. The goal is to create a (virtual) network connection between that VM and one or more Podman containers. So far, I have created a dedicated bridge network for the VM via this network definition: <network connections='1'> <name>services</name> <uuid>884d7543-91b0-4752-93b7-7efc6633d733</uuid> <bridge name='virbr1' stp='on' delay='0'/> <mac address='52:54:00:78:f8:79'/> <ip address='192.168.50.1' netmask='255.255.255.0'> </ip> </network> I then created this network for Podman: [ { "cniVersion": "0.4.0", "name": "services", "plugins": [ { "ipam": { "gateway": "192.168.50.2", "routes": [ { "dst": "0.0.0.0/0" } ], "subnet": "192.168.50.0/24", "type": "host-local" }, "master": "virbr1", "type": "macvlan" } ] } ] The container is is started like so: podman run --network=services --ip=192.168.50.10 [...] This does work, however, it doesn't seem ideal. Is there a better way to achieve networking between VM and containers? Is there a way to make Podman actually configure networking by making DHCP requests (to the OPNsense VM)? That way, DNS would be configured properly as well. Any pointers are welcome 😄 Thanks, Sven _______________________________________________ Podman mailing list -- podman(a)lists.podman.io To unsubscribe send an email to podman-leave(a)lists.podman.io
