Netavark with macvlan hangs on container (re)starts
Last modified: 2024-03-25 22:11:17 UTC
When using macvlan with external DHCP server, a proxy is used to intercept the traffic and update the filter rules accordingly. This proxy currently leaks threads per lease, so on networks with shorter lease time, it can stop operating after a few days. This shows up as new containers hanging on (re)start. Upstream bug report: https://github.com/containers/netavark/issues/811 Workaround: regular restart netavark-dhcp-proxy.socket.
