Is there any plan to change the ipam database to SQLite ?

[heyshsh]

Currently, if using Netavark as the network backend, podman would use a boltdb as the ipam database to track the used ips for each container.
/run/containers/networks/ipam.db

Is there any plan to change the ipam database from boltdb to SQLite? Thanks.

eventually yes

[heyshsh]

Thanks for response. So in which release do you plan to change?

[Luap99]

there is no target, which is why I said eventually. Long term it would be nice to drop boltdb but this cannot happen without breaking backwards compatibility which means it has to wait until we want to do that

Got it, thanks a lot.
