Passing CNI_ARGS through Podman restful APIs.

[yihuaf]

Hi guys, I am trying to figure out how to use a custom CNI with the podman restful APIs and passing in CNI_ARGS at the same time. If using podman directly, I would run

CNI_ARGS=KEY=VALUE podman run --net=<my cni plugin> <image>

Is there a way to achieve the same effect with the restful api?

Do you need to set different args for each container?
If not, it should work if you just set the env for the podman service.

Yes I would love to have different args for each container. Is there a way to do it? It doesn't have to be the CNI_ARGS. I just need a way to pass a few key value pairs down to CNI if possible.

This is possible yet but sounds like a good RFE.
Are you using the libpod api endpoints or the docker compat ones?

I am looking at the libpod api. Is there a way to do it currently in the API?
