NAME¶
podman-load - Load image(s) from a tar archive into container storage
SYNOPSIS¶
podman load [options]
podman image load [options]
DESCRIPTION¶
podman load loads an image from either an oci-archive or a docker-archive stored on the local machine into container storage. podman load reads from stdin by default or a file if the input option is set. podman load is used for loading from the archive generated by podman save, that includes the image parent layers. To load the archive of container's filesystem created by podman export, use podman import.
The local client further supports loading an oci-dir or a docker-dir as created with podman save (1).
The quiet option suppresses the progress output when set. Note: : is a restricted character and cannot be part of the file name.

OPTIONS¶
--help, -h¶
Print usage statement
--input, -i=input¶
Load the specified input file instead of from stdin. The file can be on the local file system or on a server (e.g., https://server.com/archive.tar). Also supports loading in compressed files.
The remote client, including Mac and Windows (excluding WSL2) machines, requires the use of this option.
NOTE: Use the environment variable TMPDIR to change the temporary storage location of container images. Podman defaults to use /var/tmp.
--quiet, -q¶
Suppress the progress output
