--all¶

If the image which is added to the list or index is itself a list or index, add all of the contents to the local list. By default, only one image from such a list or index is added to the list or index. Combining --all with any of the other options described below is NOT recommended.

--annotation=annotation=value¶

Set an annotation on the entry for the image.

--arch¶

Override the architecture which the list or index records as a requirement for the image. If imageName refers to a manifest list or image index, the architecture information is retrieved from it. Otherwise, it is retrieved from the image's configuration information.

--authfile=path¶

Path of the authentication file. Default is ${XDG_RUNTIME_DIR}/containers/auth.json on Linux, and $HOME/.config/containers/auth.json on Windows/macOS. The file is created by podman login. If the authorization state is not found there, $HOME/.docker/config.json is checked, which is set using docker login.

Note: There is also the option to override the default path of the authentication file by setting the REGISTRY_AUTH_FILE environment variable. This can be done with export REGISTRY_AUTH_FILE=path.

--cert-dir=path¶

Use certificates at path (*.crt, *.cert, *.key) to connect to the registry. (Default: /etc/containers/certs.d) For details, see containers-certs.d(5). (This option is not available with the remote Podman client, including Mac and Windows (excluding WSL2) machines)

--creds=[username[:password]]¶

The [username[:password]] to use to authenticate with the registry, if required. If one or both values are not supplied, a command line prompt appears and the value can be entered. The password is entered without echo.

Note that the specified credentials are only used to authenticate against target registries. They are not used for mirrors or when the registry gets rewritten (see containers-registries.conf(5)); to authenticate against those consider using a containers-auth.json(5) file.

--features¶

Specify the features list which the list or index records as requirements for the image. This option is rarely used.

--os¶

Override the OS which the list or index records as a requirement for the image. If imagename refers to a manifest list or image index, the OS information is retrieved from it. Otherwise, it is retrieved from the image's configuration information.

--os-version¶

Specify the OS version which the list or index records as a requirement for the image. This option is rarely used.

--tls-verify¶

Require HTTPS and verify certificates when contacting registries (default: true). If explicitly set to true, TLS verification is used. If set to false, TLS verification is not used. If not specified, TLS verification is used unless the target registry is listed as an insecure registry in containers-registries.conf(5)

--variant¶

Specify the variant which the list or index records for the image. This option is typically used to distinguish between multiple entries which share the same architecture value, but which expect different versions of its instruction set.
