podman-run: Run command in a new container connecting it to a network.
$ podman run --network ${network} ${image:tag}
try on your machine

The podman run --network ${network} ${image:tag} command is used to run a container within a specified network using Podman.

Here's the breakdown of the different parts of the command:

  • podman run: This is the main command to run a container with Podman.
  • --network ${network}: This flag specifies the network to be used by the container. ${network} is a variable that should be replaced with the actual network name you want to use.
  • ${image:tag}: This represents the image and tag of the container you want to run. ${image} should be replaced with the actual image name, and ${tag} should be replaced with the desired version or tag of the image.

By executing this command, Podman will create and start a container with the specified image and tag within the specified network. The container will then become part of that network and can communicate with other containers in the same network, allowing for networked applications and services to function properly.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
