10.9. Communicating between two containers in a pod

Procedure

1. Create a pod named web-pod:

   $ podman pod create --name=web-pod

2. Run the web container named web-container in the pod:

   $ podman container run -d --pod web-pod --name=web-container docker.io/library/httpd

3. List all pods and containers associated with them:

   $ podman ps --pod
   
   CONTAINER ID  IMAGE                           COMMAND           CREATED        STATUS            PORTS       NAMES               POD ID        PODNAME

   b3f4255afdb3  docker.io/library/httpd:latest  httpd-foreground  3 minutes ago  Up 3 minutes ago              web-container  4e61a300c194  web-pod

4. Run the container in the web-pod based on the docker.io/library/fedora image:

   $ podman container run -it --rm --pod web-pod docker.io/library/fedora curl localhost

   You can see that the container can reach the web-container.
