What network config should I use if I want an Incus container to be able to reach a Podman container running on my host?

I have an Incus container running that I want to be able to reach a Podman container running on the same host. The Podman container has a single port forwarded to the host. What tool should I use to do this? I don’t understand the difference between a tunnel and a forward.

let’s say a Podman container bind host port at 1080, and the host ipv4 address is 192.168.1.2.

So the Podman container can be reached at 192.168.1.2:1080.

If an incus instance uses default incus managed network, then it’s network is nated, it can reach the host network without any config, so it can reach 192.168.1.2:1080.

To add to this, I found out you can use _gateway on many systems to refer to that IP, so you don’t actually have to type it in.
