Description
### Feature or enhancement request details
Currently, containers launched via the container CLI do not offer a way to define or control their IP address. This limits flexibility in several use cases, including:
- Local development scenarios that rely on predictable container IPs
- Inter-container communication, where fixed IPs are preferable
- Integration with tools or services expecting specific network behavior
- Testing network-related functionality that depends on a deterministic IP setup
While `--network` allows attaching to a custom network, it doesn't currently support IP address assignment or any advanced networking options.
Proposed Solution
Introduce an additional flag to `container run`, such as:
```
--ip
```
