I'm rebuilding my home server in nixos.
Rather that configuring the various services natively in nixos, I decided to run containers via virtualisation.oci-containers whenever possible, mostly to be able to independently update the system and the various services.
Everything is going smoothly, but whenever I (for whatever reason) do nixos-rebuild boot and reboot after adding a container instead of nixos-rebuild switch, I run into this issue where podman isn't able to resolve the host (below you see the docker hub host, but it also happened with ghcr.io):
podman-apprise-start[1352]: Trying to pull docker.io/caronc/apprise:1.1.8...
podman-apprise-start[1352]: Pulling image //caronc/apprise:1.1.8 inside systemd: setting pull timeout to 5m0s
podman-apprise-start[1352]: Error: initializing source docker://caronc/apprise:1.1.8: pinging container registry registry-1.docker.io: Get "https://registry-1.docker.io/v2/": dial tcp: lookup registry-1.docker.io: no such host
I thought that my podman-* services were missing a dependency on network-online and that they were started before the network was available, but it is't the case:
# systemctl list-dependencies podman-apprise.service
podman-apprise.service
● ├─system.slice
● ├─network-online.target
● │ └─systemd-networkd-wait-online.service
● └─sysinit.target
● ├─dev-hugepages.mount
[...snip...]
Do you happen to know what the issue is?
PS: Manually running systemctl start podman-whatever once fixes the issue, of course, but I wonder if there's a more robust solution?
update:
After investigating based on balsoft input below, the issue seems to be that systemd-networkd-wait-online doesn't behave as expected (by me).
Basically, systemd-networkd-wait-online waits for network interfaces to have a carrier (working ethernet cable) and an IP address. This is what in systemd-networkd docs is called the "degraded" state (no, it doesn't mean that something got worse than before... don't think too much of what "degraded" implies in English).
In my case, I have an interface that is setup via DHCP and that also has static IPs assigned:
$ cat /etc/systemd/network/00-lan1.network
[Match]
Name=lan1
[Network]
DHCP=ipv4
IPv6AcceptRA=no
LinkLocalAddressing=no
[Address]
Address=192.168.10.10/24
[Address]
Address=192.168.10.99/24
If you are wondering, the reason I do this is that I want static IPs for my dns server and reverse proxy, but I also want my home server to use DHCP to fetch some network-wide configuration which, critically, includes the default route.
Back to the issue: IIUC, since the interface has a non-link-local address (which systemd-networkd confusingly calls a "routable" address), it is immediately considered "routable" (a state that is moar better than "degraded") and so not only it's basically ignored by the default systemd-networkd-wait-online configuration, but even adding
[Link]
RequiredForOnline=routable
to /etc/systemd/network/00-lan1.network doesn't make a difference whatsoever.
For now, my stopgap solution is to explicitly set the default route for the "lan1" network:
[Network]
Gateway=192.168.10.1
this seems to solve the issue with podman and, while the system still thinks to be "online" before being fully configured, it will suffice until I find a more elegant/robust way (ping me in a while if you are interested).

To me it looks like you may have applied some "vintage film" style, and that it doesn't go too well with a photo that is mostly shades of brown.
Brown is really dark, unsaturated orange and we perceive it as a separate color mostly based on what other colors are near it, so it's not easy to work with in a photo where there aren't many non-brown elements.
Also, I am personally quite fed up with the (excessive and ubiquitous) "vintage film" photos.. I think that's not the issue with this photo, but, still, it's a bias of mine so that might be part of it.
Even mild color blindness must be a real hassle for photography (well.. for post-processing, mostly). I wish I had some suggestion to work around that, but I really can't imagine how it must be.
Anyway, don't let that slow you down! Color shenanigans are really only a tiny part of photography, and (I must say!) they are often the most tacky part. There are lots of greatly influential photographers that even chose to ditch colors altogether and shoot in black&white.
