[FEATURE REQUEST]: container update for compat endpoint

[lukasmrtvy]

Hey, I am not sure if its a bug or a feature request, but Podman does not provide container update operation for compat endpoint, see https://docs.docker.com/engine/api/v1.41/#operation/ContainerUpdate

Use case:

• temporarily boost container resources for faster starts

Related: #5763

Thanks

The architecture of Podman continues to prevent implementation of this functionality - we can't alter containers after creation. We were able to add the ability to make small changes (e.g. renaming, adding network aliases) but these changes were very difficult, and there's no real way to generalize them.

@mheon sounds like a can't fix?

[mheon]

We are discussing a major rewrite of the DB backend. If we're going to do that, might as well look into whether we can make this possible as part of it. I'll throw it in the bucket of issues we know we want fixed with the new DB, like making pod and container names no longer conflict.

great idea, thanks, Matt!

The update method in libpod api also respond with 404:
https://docs.podman.io/en/latest/_static/api.html#tag/containers/operation/ContainerUpdateLibpod
Is this a bug or it's not implemented yet?

[mheon]

Once we can implement the backend fully, we can enable the API.

@mheon still planned?

[mheon]

This is possible with SQLite, but not Bolt, so I think we want to hold off until we deprecate Bolt so we don’t end up with a command that only works with one DB type that is also a fully supported DB
