Re: [atomic-devel] podman user defined network support

rootless podman containers can create network using slirp4netns
but there is no container to container communication

the workaround I used in podman-compose is that I share a network between containers
and all containers talk via pod shared localhost (not to be confused with host localhost)

I was able to run this complex stack having:

a django web interface
Postgres database
rabbitmq
memcached
tasks

all linked to gather and non-exported to host except the django web interface


the trick is like this

podman pod create -p 8080:80 --name=mypod --share net
podman run --name=db --pod=mypod  ...
podman run --name=web --pod=mypod --add-host db:127.0.0.1 ...

ok. but this means currently there is no alternative for docker network.
what's more currently with podman you must use --net=host.
since there is no user defined network (at least with easy command
line), what's more there is no --link option for podman. so neither of
the docker container communication works with podman. is it true?
