Make it more easy to modify /etc/hosts from within container by having it read-write (rw)

[aanno]

Feature request description

The file /etc/hosts is managed by podman. This is all right, but I would like to see a way (option?) to modify it from within the (running) container to circumvent problems with nextcloud all-in-one (AIO) described here.

Running AIO, /etc/hosts is mounted rw on some containers (good for the problem at hand), but ro (read-only) on others:

# This is the output of `mount | grep hosts` on some AIO containers

Suggest potential solution

I would appreciate an (global) container configuration option to have /etc/hosts rw in every container started/running.

Have you considered any alternatives?

No response

Additional context

IMHO, this would be a solution to #25125

How are the containers created? I am not aware of us bind mounting /etc/hosts read only.
