netavark: A container network stack

Netavark is a rust based network stack for containers. It is being designed to work with Podman but is also applicable for other OCI container management applications.

Overview and scope

Netavark is a tool for configuring networking for Linux containers. Its features include:

Requires

MSRV (Minimum Supported Rust Version)

v1.76

We test that Netavark can be build on this Rust version and on some newer versions. All newer versions should also build, and if they do not, the issue should be reported and will be fixed. Older versions are not guaranteed to build and issues will not be fixed.

Build

$ make

Test

$ make test

Also see ./test for more information.

Communications

For general questions and discussion, please use Podman's channels.

For discussions around issues/bugs and features, you can use the GitHub issues and PRs tracking system.
