Container MAC Address & Licensed Software

[buvoli]

Certain software licenses may require a fixed MAC address in the container.
Docker
By default all docker containers have this feature. Moreover, you can manually specify the address using the --mac-address flag.
Podman
By default rootless podman selects a random MAC address for the container. When running as root, podman can also specify the MAC address of the container so long as you specify the network namespace.
sudo podman run --net podman --mac-address='X:X:X...' IMAGE COMMAND
For rootless podman alternative is to use the --network='host' flag which causes the host and container MAC address to match. This provides a consistent MAC address of license purposes.

In light of this, user should be able to specify the following flags in stack config:
Docker: --mac-address
Podman: --net and --mac-address
