podman not using netavark as default
Last modified: 2024-05-06 10:34:35 UTC
On Tumbleweed, despite being on podman 4.8.0 we are still using CNI instead of netavark as the default network backend https://openqa.opensuse.org/tests/3781263#step/podman/48 This issue was detected while extending the podman tests on Tumbleweed.
If I remember correctly you need to install the netavark package first to have Podman use it. If you install Podman first, it uses and stick to CNI unless you force it in the conf/reset it.
Hey Bruno. Yes and this is the issue. As of now we should have switched to netavark by default on new Tumbleweed/MicroOS installations. This ticket does not address any migration plans for existing installation. But new ones should have netavark. See https://suse.slack.com/archives/C02DR0C5XUY/p1701764573199999
