I run:

 podman run -it  -p 11222:11222 -e USER="admin" -e PASS="password" quay.io/infinispan-test/server:main

Then

podman run -it --net=host infinispan/cli

> connect

I provide admin password

I create a cache named 'cache2' from the console. I add some entries.

I call in the CLI: describe caches/cache2

IllegalArgumentException: No such resource 'cache2'

Then I add an entry from the CLI

put --cache=cache2 hello world

Now describe works and provides the config of the cache.
