3. If you want to run skupper to create a podman site on RHEL 8, you need to configure podman to use netavark if it is not already configured:

   1. Check if netavark is configured as the podman network backend:

      $ podman info | grep networkBackend

   2. If netavark is not listed as the backend, install it:

      $ sudo dnf install netavark

   3. Configure podman to use netavark by making sure the following lines exist in the /etc/containers/containers.conf file:

      [network]
      network_backend = "netavark"
