Hi Hendrik,

I can reproduce this with podman v3.2.3 and slirp4netns v1.1.8+dev.

Podman should only start the container when the network setup is done. Can you please open an issue on Github.

Hi,

I'm using podman 2.2.1 rootless with slirp4netns and IPv6 enabled
(--network slirp4netns:enable_ipv6=true). Straight after starting my
container the code inside tries to connect to a server using IPv6 but
fails due to the network being unreachable. However if I add a small
delay before trying to connect it works. If I use IPv4 this seems to
work right after the container is started, which of course still takes a
few ms until the code is started.

I can actually easily recreate the using podman 3.1.2 as well.

this works:
podman run -it --network slirp4netns:enable_ipv6=true --entrypoint bash
fedora:34 -c "curl -v -4 https://www.google.com"

this fails:
podman run -it --network slirp4netns:enable_ipv6=true --entrypoint bash
fedora:34 -c "curl -v -6 https://www.google.com"

but works with a delay:
podman run -it --network slirp4netns:enable_ipv6=true --entrypoint bash
fedora:34 -c "sleep 2; curl -v -6 https://www.google.com"

Is the network setup done after the container is already started and
thus this needs to be expected?

thanks,
Hendrik
