One longstanding problem with Podman is that your rootful containers may loose network connectivity after a while. For many users it is not be obvious what is causing such problems. Netavark configures NAT and port forwarding firewall rules. When another process is deleting our firewall rules the containers will loose connectivity. One such process is…
As written in an earlier blog by Brent we are going to replace the older CNI stack Netavark and Aardvark-dns. With Podman 5.0 on the horizon we have decided that it will be the perfect time to drop CNI support from our upstream builds. As mentioned in the prior blog post we will most likely…
As Brent announced Netavark v1.6 with DHCP support is released, together with podman v4.5 you can now use DHCP with your macvlan networks in only a few simple steps. In order to use macvlan and DHCP you must run Podman as root. First enable the dhcp proxy via systemd socket: Now just create a macvlan…
I am pleased to announce new versions of netavark and aardvark-dns. There were lots of dependency updates (libraries) for each project. Netavark now also has preliminary support for DHCP and MacVLAN as well as the ability to write your own plugins. Good stuff!

We are pleased to announce a slew of new releases including Podman, Buildah, Netavark, and Aardvark-dns. Podman version 4.4 was released upstream this week.

Our users began to push us to expand our network stack capabilities to implement more advanced networking and domain name serving. Those…
As 2022 comes to a close, I wanted to highlight the great progress that Podman has made over the last year. Almost 5 years after our first public release, Podman continues to grow at a rapid pace, with hundreds of new features added over the last year. Let’s go over some of the highlights and…
It is coming together nicely — Update When we released Podman 4, we also released a new “network stack” that in large part was provided by netavark. At that time, a couple of features were missing for us to achieve parity with the previous network stack based on CNI Plugins. One key missing feature was…
We are pleased to announce the release of aardvark-dns and netavark v1.4.0. It has not been that long since the respective v1.3.0 releases but we had new function we wanted to get out into the community. In the aardvark-dns release, the key new function was provided by commit 01a9f18f411b9766e6476fc53c395844aa3cb62e which is titled add support for…
