With netavark v2 we require true not 1. This was correctly changed in commitbb02e49080but then reverted in commit7612af4c0eagain as it did not properly rebase and solve the conflicts. Signed-off-by: Paul Holzinger <pholzing@redhat.com>

API Reference
The latest online documentation is
automatically generated by the readthedocs build process. It uses redoc to render the
swagger.yml file, the swagger is build and injected as static resource in the readthedocs
build process, see the .readthedocs.yaml file.
The swagger file can be downloaded from https://docs.podman.io/en/latest/_static/swagger.yaml.
Note the latest link always contains the latest yaml from the main branch, if you like a specific
version replace latest with the version, i.e. for v6.0.0 https://docs.podman.io/en/v6.0.0/_static/swagger.yaml.
Also this new process is only done since v5.8.4. Earlier swagger.yml files where
uploaded here.
Local Testing
To build standard man pages, run make docs. Results will be in docs/build/man.
To build HTMLized man pages: Assuming that you have the dependencies installed, then also install (showing Fedora in the example):
$ sudo dnf install python3-sphinx python3-recommonmark
$ pip install sphinx-markdown-tables myst_parser
(The above dependencies are current as of 2022-09-15. If you experience problems, please see requirements.txt in this directory, it will almost certainly be more up-to-date than this README.)
After that completes, cd to the docs directory in your Podman sandbox and then do make html.
You can then preview the html files in docs/build/html with:
python -m http.server 8000 --directory build/html
...and point your web browser at http://localhost:8000/
