Paul demonstrated improvements in port forwarding for custom networks in Podman 6.1 RC1, showing how source IP addresses are now correctly preserved. The group discussed the upcoming final release of Podman 6.1, noting it mostly included bug fixes and a few new features. Tom and Ashley provided information about the LFX internships, emphasizing that prior contributions were not required for applicants and addressing questions about the application process, design portfolios, and cover letters. Several participants, including Kartik and Pratik, asked for clarification on internship expectations and project proposals. The conversation ended with a reminder for topic submissions for the next meeting and thanks to the presenters and attendees. + +#### Next Steps + * Tom: Review the number of applications received for the LFX internships. + * Kartik: Check the CNCF/monitoring repo issue for the broken text on the LFX portal and consider creating an issue or PR if not already done. + * All interested applicants: Apply for the LFX internships before the closing date of August 18th. + * All interested applicants: Prepare a design portfolio for the website UX project, including descriptions of contributions, and a cover letter outlining relevant experience and project approach. + * All interested applicants for the automation project: Consider including some code samples or contributions (personal, school, or open-source) in the application, though it is not strictly required. + * All attendees: Submit topics for the next Podman Community Meeting (October 6, 2026). + +### Topics +#### Pasta Forwarding Demo - Paul Holzinger ([01:29](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W3cWHSrQnEQ&t=89s) in the video) + +Paul demonstrated new port forwarding functionality in Podman 6 and 6.1 that addresses a long-standing issue with incorrect source IP addresses in custom networks. The demonstration showed how the previous standard poster mode worked with default networks but failed with custom networks, causing remote connections to appear with incorrect IP addresses in web server logs. Paul explained that they added a new port forwarding mode in Podman 6.0 and made further improvements in 6.1, including support for IPv6 connections in dual-stack networks. + +Paul demonstrated new features in Podman 6.1 RC1, which was released on Friday. He explained that final releases typically occur in the second week of August, and the next RC is planned for next week unless major issues are reported. Paul noted that this release depends on a recent version of the pasta package and mentioned that there aren't many new features in this release due to the delayed Podman 6.0 release. + +#### Podman 6.1 RC1 update - Paul Holzinger, Tom Sweeney - ([08:47](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W3cWHSrQnEQ&t=527s) in the video) + +Tom and Paul discussed the recent release, which focused mainly on bug fixes and included new features like Podman volume rename and Podman machine restart. It was released on Friday July 29, 2026. They confirmed plans for the final release next week and the next major release, 6.2, in November. Tom also announced updates to the container tools, including new versions of Buildah (1.45) and Skopeo (1.24), + +#### LFX Internships for Podman - Ashley Cui, Paul Holzinger, Tom Sweeney - ([12:39](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W3cWHSrQnEQ&t=759s) in the video) + +Two interns for September through November of 2026, applications close in a few weeks on August 18. + + * Podman.io https://mentorship.lfx.linuxfoundation.org/project/42be74e1-704b-4b17-8b47-e38f37338414 + * CI FLakes https://mentorship.lfx.linuxfoundation.org/project/050e89d9-aec2-47ad-9113-3ba41a639d55 + +##### Application Deadlines and Requirements: +The team discussed application deadlines, with Kartik confirming the applications close on August 18th. Paul mentioned receiving many applications to review, noting that only one candidate can be selected. Kartik raised questions about the website UX project, including broken text on the LFX portal and requirements for the design portfolio and cover letter. Ashley clarified that the design portfolio should showcase separate work rather than the website itself, and should include descriptions of what was designed and contributed. + +##### Project Expectations and Contributions Discussion: +The team discussed expectations for an upcoming project, with Tom suggesting that mentees should provide quick examples of their previous work, including school projects, work-related tasks, and personal projects, highlighting what they specifically contributed. Paul clarified that while pre-contribution to Podman is not required, having some previous contribution, such as open-source work or a GitHub presence, would be beneficial. + +##### Internship Application Discussion: +Kartik asked if he should include his implemented features in his cover letter, such as fixing RSS feeds and auto-detecting OS systems, and Tom advised that anything pertinent to the internship would be appropriate to include. Miloslav added that while they don't want the internship to begin before selecting a candidate, demonstrating competence is welcome. The conversation ended with Tom thanking participants and announcing the next meeting on October 6th. + +The next meeting is scheduled for October 6th, with hopes to have more demonstrations ready, particularly given that version 6.1 will be finalized by then. + +#### Open discussion + 1.

So we meet on the first Tuesday of even number of months. Timing might be moved to make it friendlier for folks in Asia Pacific. + +13 +00:11:12.940 --> 00:11:19.489 +Tom Sweeney (Red Hat LLC): Topics are driven from prior meetings, or requests are made. This time, we didn't have a whole lot of topics, so it might be a shortish meeting, we'll see. + +14 +00:11:20.330 --> 00:11:28.629 +Tom Sweeney (Red Hat LLC): Discussions are accepted for Podman, Builder, Skopeo, or any other related container projects, or any of your projects that use any of those containers, tools. + +15 +00:11:28.840 --> 00:11:41.069 +Tom Sweeney (Red Hat LLC): And we have the meeting notes that I'll try to keep up with listed here, and they were in the meeting invite today as well. So if you see me writing down something, or if I ask you to add a link, if you could do so there, that would be great. + +16 +00:11:41.860 --> 00:11:46.650 +Tom Sweeney (Red Hat LLC): And today we have a demo from Paul, and I didn't put that into… + +17 +00:11:47.010 --> 00:11:51.509 +Tom Sweeney (Red Hat LLC): The agenda here very well, and that's going to be a pasta forwarding demo. + +18 +00:11:51.640 --> 00:11:58.030 +Tom Sweeney (Red Hat LLC): And then we'll talk about what's happening with Podman 6.1RC1, And then the LFX internships. + +19 +00:11:58.700 --> 00:12:09.660 +Tom Sweeney (Red Hat LLC): And then, if you have any open questions, we'll have a section time for that as well. And then we… and then, yeah, I'm not speaking well at all today, I'm sorry. + +20 +00:12:09.920 --> 00:12:17.770 +Tom Sweeney (Red Hat LLC): Topics for our next meeting will be gratefully accepted at the end of the meeting, and our next meeting for that is October 6, 2026, and… + +21 +00:12:18.050 --> 00:12:23.250 +Tom Sweeney (Red Hat LLC): Then we'll wrap up, and with that, I'm going to stop sharing and hand it over to Paul. + +22 +00:12:27.790 --> 00:12:31.399 +Paul Holzinger: Okay, let me start sharing my screen. + +23 +00:12:40.580 --> 00:12:42.470 +Paul Holzinger: Okay, you should see something. + +24 +00:12:43.250 --> 00:12:44.839 +Tom Sweeney (Red Hat LLC): Yep, looks good. + +25 +00:12:45.500 --> 00:12:54.440 +Paul Holzinger: Alright, so this was a demo about some work we wanted to do for a long time, but never really got to it around, and… + +26 +00:12:54.810 --> 00:12:59.400 +Paul Holzinger: Now, with port.6, we finally, managed to do that. + +27 +00:13:00.100 --> 00:13:08.060 +Paul Holzinger: And with 4.6.1, we also made some more improvements for that, so I just want to show what this is about. So this is for the… + +28 +00:13:08.360 --> 00:13:13.270 +Paul Holzinger: Pasta forwarding. So, in short, what it actually means for you is… + +29 +00:13:13.670 --> 00:13:22.900 +Paul Holzinger: you can keep the correct source IP, when forwarding on the rootless network. So with a custom network. + +30 +00:13:23.360 --> 00:13:31.210 +Paul Holzinger: There's a long open issue for many years, where basically all the remote connections appear. + +31 +00:13:31.590 --> 00:13:35.770 +Paul Holzinger: with an incorrect IP address, so if you look at web server locks, so… + +32 +00:13:36.890 --> 00:13:44.430 +Paul Holzinger: This, previously worked only with the normal default poster mode, so let me just show you. + +33 +00:13:44.580 --> 00:13:50.059 +Paul Holzinger: So if I start the basic NGINX, container here. + +34 +00:13:50.630 --> 00:14:01.519 +Paul Holzinger: And then, if you connect, so I… since, obviously, if I want to connect from another system, to show you the actual IP address. So the IP address here from that system. + +35 +00:14:01.760 --> 00:14:11.309 +Paul Holzinger: Now you see it, like, in the… 192, 168, 122, 100. + +36 +00:14:11.920 --> 00:14:18.759 +Paul Holzinger: So now if I, make a web request… And then we do… + +37 +00:14:25.450 --> 00:14:27.119 +Paul Holzinger: So, entry. Next. + +38 +00:14:28.410 --> 00:14:44.439 +Paul Holzinger: And you see the correct source IP address. So this is the standard pasta, which has been integrated sometime in port.4 or something, which, worked. But one… but the thing that didn't work was when using a custom network, so let's, + +39 +00:14:45.820 --> 00:14:49.769 +Paul Holzinger: Let's remove the container and basically… + +40 +00:14:49.880 --> 00:14:56.929 +Paul Holzinger: And the custom networks are quite common, because you need those to allow the inter-container communication. + +41 +00:14:57.380 --> 00:15:00.900 +Paul Holzinger: The direct one, so let's just call it Network 1. + +42 +00:15:01.710 --> 00:15:08.740 +Paul Holzinger: And then we use the same command again, and say… And that's fair. + +43 +00:15:09.270 --> 00:15:17.950 +Paul Holzinger: 1… So, now if I do this again… so we still get the website, client-side all fine. + +44 +00:15:18.870 --> 00:15:21.309 +Paul Holzinger: But if you pull the locks out now… + +45 +00:15:21.660 --> 00:15:27.549 +Paul Holzinger: You see a different IP address, which is not correct, and this is basically what the program is all about. + +46 +00:15:28.050 --> 00:15:32.669 +Paul Holzinger: And, yeah, one other thing to show, so if I do… + +47 +00:15:34.120 --> 00:15:39.680 +Paul Holzinger: a local IPv6 connection, so previously, that also works here fine. + +48 +00:15:40.720 --> 00:15:49.300 +Paul Holzinger: And… So now, what we did to fix this is we added a new port forwarding mode. + +49 +00:15:49.540 --> 00:15:58.769 +Paul Holzinger: That is currently opt-in, that is not the default, so there's one containers.conf switch. Rootersport forwarder equals pasta. + +50 +00:15:59.140 --> 00:16:01.650 +Paul Holzinger: So you just checked that in your file. + +51 +00:16:04.480 --> 00:16:11.020 +Paul Holzinger: And… now we do the same again, exact same Podman command, just as one config setting. + +52 +00:16:12.150 --> 00:16:16.009 +Paul Holzinger: And if I did it right, so the client worked. + +53 +00:16:16.420 --> 00:16:21.320 +Paul Holzinger: That's correct, locks off that container, and again, now we get the… + +54 +00:16:21.440 --> 00:16:24.679 +Paul Holzinger: Correct source IP, which is what we want. + +55 +00:16:25.190 --> 00:16:27.149 +Paul Holzinger: And now it's finally working. + +56 +00:16:27.750 --> 00:16:29.230 +Paul Holzinger: And… + +57 +00:16:29.690 --> 00:16:39.809 +Paul Holzinger: So that worked with Podman 6.0, but there were some problems. So, for example, now, there's some changes in behavior between these, port forwarding modes. + +58 +00:16:40.070 --> 00:16:44.780 +Paul Holzinger: So if I do the IPv6 now… That will fail. + +59 +00:16:45.020 --> 00:16:53.279 +Paul Holzinger: And that is, for a very obvious reason, if you've… Because… We inspect the network. + +60 +00:16:59.800 --> 00:17:03.730 +Paul Holzinger: So basically, the subnets… + +61 +00:17:03.950 --> 00:17:16.060 +Paul Holzinger: Well, we don't even have IPv6 on the network, so that shouldn't have worked to begin with, even in the old version, because the old version always truncated the IP information, or, like, basically lost it. + +62 +00:17:16.260 --> 00:17:22.769 +Paul Holzinger: And converted that always to IPv4, that's why it worked previously, but that is not how it's supposed to work. + +63 +00:17:23.890 --> 00:17:28.480 +Paul Holzinger: And so the new version does it right, so what that means is… + +64 +00:17:28.730 --> 00:17:32.000 +Paul Holzinger: Okay, move the container again, we can create… + +65 +00:17:32.540 --> 00:17:41.309 +Paul Holzinger: A network, a dual-stack network… So, IP… we have IPv6. + +66 +00:17:41.640 --> 00:17:44.709 +Paul Holzinger: I, let's just call it, V6. + +67 +00:17:46.690 --> 00:17:53.099 +Paul Holzinger: And then, again, let's start the container with the other network, with the tool stack. + +68 +00:17:53.460 --> 00:17:58.480 +Paul Holzinger: So now, from this VM, I only have IPv4 connection here, but… so this still works. + +69 +00:17:58.930 --> 00:18:04.770 +Paul Holzinger: And now if I use this, it also works, because I enabled IPv6 on the network. + +70 +00:18:05.670 --> 00:18:12.279 +Paul Holzinger: And this specifically here is, new with, podman 6.1. + +71 +00:18:13.510 --> 00:18:18.699 +Paul Holzinger: And let's just check the locks to be sure that we are not doing anything, wrong. + +72 +00:18:19.840 --> 00:18:24.350 +Paul Holzinger: So this, iPv4 remote is there. + +73 +00:18:24.690 --> 00:18:29.850 +Paul Holzinger: And the IPv6 remote address right now is, set to, + +74 +00:18:30.890 --> 00:18:33.870 +Paul Holzinger: Hard-coded one, if you connect from the host, because… + +75 +00:18:33.980 --> 00:18:42.400 +Paul Holzinger: One thing to keep in mind is that local host on the host is different than local host in the machine, so, like, obviously, if you… + +76 +00:18:42.510 --> 00:18:50.239 +Paul Holzinger: connect from the host into the container. It cannot show you that that connection as local host, because localhost and the container are something different. + +77 +00:18:51.150 --> 00:18:52.470 +Paul Holzinger: And… + +78 +00:18:53.110 --> 00:19:05.049 +Paul Holzinger: But if you… I don't have an IPv6 connection here right now to show that if I would use an external, like, public IPv6 connection, it would show the actual right IP address, so that also works. + +79 +00:19:05.910 --> 00:19:10.130 +Paul Holzinger: And this is basically… All of this is about. + +80 +00:19:10.920 --> 00:19:16.189 +Paul Holzinger: Yeah, a bit of an unscripted demo. I think I showed everything I wanted to show. + +81 +00:19:17.700 --> 00:19:24.799 +Tom Sweeney (Red Hat LLC): Considering that I bent around, like, 6 minutes ago, Paul, I think it was a great demo. Thank you for jumping in and hopping in and showing us that. + +82 +00:19:24.930 --> 00:19:28.040 +Tom Sweeney (Red Hat LLC): Does anybody have any questions for Paul about this? + +83 +00:19:35.590 --> 00:19:37.260 +Tom Sweeney (Red Hat LLC): Okay, not hearing a whole bunch. + +84 +00:19:37.550 --> 00:19:46.880 +Tom Sweeney (Red Hat LLC): Paul, I'm gonna put you under the… throw you under the bus a little bit, again, right here. We're talking about, Podman 6.1, we just released RC1. + +85 +00:19:47.100 --> 00:19:57.469 +Tom Sweeney (Red Hat LLC): And normally, Matt would be talking about this, and do you have any more details about when the next RC is coming out, when we're planning to do the final release, and what new goodies might be in there besides this? + +86 +00:20:00.420 --> 00:20:08.159 +Paul Holzinger: Sure. So, we released Podman 6.1 RC1 on Friday, I believe. + +87 +00:20:08.420 --> 00:20:09.080 +Tom Sweeney (Red Hat LLC): Yes. + +88 +00:20:09.080 --> 00:20:10.270 +Paul Holzinger: And… + +89 +00:20:10.530 --> 00:20:19.559 +Paul Holzinger: So the RC ones that we are doing, we are doing them a couple of weeks before our final release date, which is usually second week. + +90 +00:20:19.900 --> 00:20:22.529 +Paul Holzinger: of August, or, like, every 3 months, it's… + +91 +00:20:23.610 --> 00:20:30.500 +Paul Holzinger: And… this time we were a bit slow, because we were rating for the work I was just demoing. That took some… + +92 +00:20:31.250 --> 00:20:37.299 +Paul Holzinger: time to lend, oh, one thing I should note there, this is also dependent on the… + +93 +00:20:37.500 --> 00:20:41.839 +Paul Holzinger: Pasta package, so you need a recent version of that as well, and… + +94 +00:20:42.060 --> 00:20:44.650 +Paul Holzinger: Such we all needed to align that. + +95 +00:20:45.880 --> 00:20:47.050 +Paul Holzinger: You're mister. + +96 +00:20:47.540 --> 00:20:52.120 +Paul Holzinger: we missed one week, or… the RC is one week late, basically, and… + +97 +00:20:52.490 --> 00:21:00.609 +Paul Holzinger: No, we are just aiming for the final next week, unless somebody reports major issues, it's basically the exact same. + +98 +00:21:01.210 --> 00:21:03.350 +Paul Holzinger: content as RC1. + +99 +00:21:03.920 --> 00:21:08.839 +Paul Holzinger: And… Yeah, I guess that should happen sometime, + +100 +00:21:09.320 --> 00:21:16.059 +Paul Holzinger: next week there.

The patch releases are, of course, a lot smaller. + +106 +00:21:54.120 --> 00:21:58.529 +Tom Sweeney (Red Hat LLC): just looking We did, Podman… Podman volume rename. + +107 +00:21:58.850 --> 00:22:00.940 +Tom Sweeney (Red Hat LLC): And Podman machine restart have been added. + +108 +00:22:01.280 --> 00:22:03.750 +Tom Sweeney (Red Hat LLC): Some manifest push work as well. + +109 +00:22:04.040 --> 00:22:08.069 +Tom Sweeney (Red Hat LLC): And some QuadLit, units now supported new key image volumes. + +110 +00:22:08.910 --> 00:22:14.580 +Tom Sweeney (Red Hat LLC): Podman GenerateQ now includes support for generating container health checks. + +111 +00:22:16.140 --> 00:22:20.079 +Tom Sweeney (Red Hat LLC): So a few, few nuggets in there, less than normal bugs.

Any other questions? + +122 +00:23:27.020 --> 00:23:33.939 +Tom Sweeney (Red Hat LLC): Great, so the last thing I had on the agenda for today was the LFX internships, which we've gone ahead and posted. + +123 +00:23:34.260 --> 00:23:36.100 +Tom Sweeney (Red Hat LLC): Out on the, + +124 +00:23:36.920 --> 00:23:41.799 +Tom Sweeney (Red Hat LLC): website at LFX.

I think, + +126 +00:23:53.290 --> 00:24:11.439 +Tom Sweeney (Red Hat LLC): for those who have submitted and not getting a response very quickly, we're hoping that you can give us a little time, because it's been overwhelming, to say the least, for the number of fixed… number of PRs that are coming in, and at least for the Podman.io, which Ashley is leaning on. We generally get a couple of PRs every two months, and + +127 +00:24:11.440 --> 00:24:17.080 +Tom Sweeney (Red Hat LLC): You know, coming in after a weekend and finding 20-something was a little… Intimidating, I would say. + +128 +00:24:17.960 --> 00:24:21.730 +Tom Sweeney (Red Hat LLC): Ashley or Paul or anybody else, do you have any further things to add about that? + +129 +00:24:25.810 --> 00:24:27.469 +Ashley Cui (Red Hat LLC): Yeah, + +130 +00:24:28.330 --> 00:24:52.470 +Ashley Cui (Red Hat LLC): your… I think both the applications are open, please apply on the LFX website.

And also, is it… should it be related to the projects which I have + +160 +00:27:28.800 --> 00:27:36.409 +Kartik Yadav: contributed to some other company on, like, my pet projects. And regarding the cover letter, I wanted to ask that + +161 +00:27:36.410 --> 00:27:51.229 +Kartik Yadav: means it is… is it advisable? Should I… it means add a working plan on how I plan to complete the project? I mean, I hope it doesn't count it… count something as something negative, right? Because + +162 +00:27:51.260 --> 00:27:53.949 +Kartik Yadav: I might add something, and you might… + +163 +00:27:54.440 --> 00:27:59.809 +Kartik Yadav: think that it's too much or something, so I wanted to ask all these questions. + +164 +00:28:01.650 --> 00:28:04.269 +Tom Sweeney (Red Hat LLC): Ashley, have you thought through this yet? + +165 +00:28:04.940 --> 00:28:29.360 +Ashley Cui (Red Hat LLC): I haven't thought much about the cover letter yet, but I know for the design portfolio, it doesn't have to do with any… like, you don't have to talk about, our website at all, like, I actually would prefer it if it's something that you design separate from the website, just, like, if it's just screenshots, great, if you could, describe, what exactly you did, what parts you touched, and, what + +166 +00:28:29.360 --> 00:28:50.009 +Ashley Cui (Red Hat LLC): parts you design, like, just a sentence or two saying, like, I designed this part, that would be great too. It could be, you know, from previous projects, it could be from school, it could be from anything. And, I think the biggest focus is that you've designed it, not just… you don't have to have implemented it. I think our focus here is, seeing, like. + +167 +00:28:50.270 --> 00:28:52.320 +Ashley Cui (Red Hat LLC): How you approach, design. + +168 +00:28:52.520 --> 00:28:56.150 +Ashley Cui (Red Hat LLC): As for a cover letter, I am not… + +169 +00:28:56.500 --> 00:29:04.040 +Ashley Cui (Red Hat LLC): entirely sure what we're looking for.
