Running podman with podman-compose, wordpress cannot do a network upgrade because it cannot connect to itself

When running wordpress with podman-compose, I have the issue that when trying to run a wordpress network upgrade via the web interface, I get the following error:

Error: cURL error 7: Failed to connect to mydomain.tld port 443

It's apparently not possible to connect to its own domain within the container due to network configuration issues.

With podman 5.3, the default network application changed from slirp4netns to pasta. With this came changes to the networking configuration.

For this to work again, you have to add a block extra_hosts in your docker-compose.yml file:

services:
  wordpress:
    image: wordpress:6
    [...]
    extra_hosts:
      - "mydomain.tld:host-gateway"

Add as many domains as necessary, so it is able to connect to itself via the fully-qualified domain.

See the podman blog post for more details. Also, see the --add-host param and its meaning behind this configuration in the docs.
