NAME
podman-push - Push an image, manifest list or image index from local storage to elsewhere
SYNOPSIS
podman push [options] image [destination]
podman image push [options] image [destination]
DESCRIPTION
Pushes an image, manifest list or image index from local storage to a specified
destination. Push is mainly used to push images to registries, however podman push can be
used to save images to tarballs and directories using the following transports: dir:,
docker-archive:, docker-daemon: and oci-archive:.
Image storage
Images are pushed from those stored in local image storage.
DESTINATION
DESTINATION is the location the container image is pushed to. It supports all transports
from containers-transports(5). If no transport is specified, the docker (i.e., container
registry) transport is used. For remote clients, including Mac and Windows (excluding
WSL2) machines, docker is the only supported transport.
# Push to a container registry
$ podman push quay.io/podman/stable
# Push to a container registry via the docker transport
$ podman push docker://quay.io/podman/stable
# Push to a container registry with another tag
$ podman push myimage quay.io/username/myimage
# Push to a local directory
$ podman push myimage dir:/tmp/myimage
# Push to a tarball in the docker-archive format
$ podman push myimage docker-archive:/tmp/myimage
# Push to a local docker daemon
$ sudo podman push myimage docker-daemon:docker.io/library/myimage:33
# Push to a tarball in the OCI format
$ podman push myimage oci-archive:/tmp/myimage
OPTIONS
--authfile=path
Path of the authentication file. Default is ${XDG_RUNTIME_DIR}/containers/auth.json, which
is set using 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) Please refer to containers-certs.d(5) for details. (This option
is not available with the remote Podman client, including Mac and Windows (excluding WSL2)
machines)
--compress
Compress tarball image layers when pushing to a directory using the 'dir' transport.
(default is same compression type, compressed or uncompressed, as source) Note: This flag
can only be set when using the dir transport
--compression-format=gzip | zstd | zstd:chunked
Specifies the compression format to use. Supported values are: gzip, zstd and
zstd:chunked. The default is gzip unless overridden in the containers.conf file.
--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 will appear and the value can be
entered. The password is entered without echo.
--digestfile=Digestfile
After copying the image, write the digest of the resulting image to the file. (This
option is not available with the remote Podman client, including Mac and Windows
(excluding WSL2) machines)
--disable-content-trust
This is a Docker-specific option to disable image verification to a container registry and
is not supported by Podman. This option is a NOOP and provided solely for scripting
compatibility.
--format, -f=format
Manifest Type (oci, v2s2, or v2s1) to use when pushing an image.
--quiet, -q
When writing the output image, suppress progress output
--remove-signatures
Discard any pre-existing signatures in the image.
--sign-by=key
Add a “simple signing” signature at the destination using the specified key. (This option
is not available with the remote Podman client, including Mac and Windows (excluding WSL2)
machines)
--sign-by-sigstore-private-key=path
Add a sigstore signature at the destination using a private key at the specified path.
(This option is not available with the remote Podman client, including Mac and Windows
(excluding WSL2) machines)
--sign-passphrase-file=path
If signing the image (using either --sign-by or --sign-by-sigstore-private-key), read the
passphrase to use from the specified path.
--tls-verify
Require HTTPS and verify certificates when contacting registries (default: true). If
explicitly set to true, TLS verification will be used. If set to false, TLS verification
will not be used. If not specified, TLS verification will be used unless the target
registry is listed as an insecure registry in containers-registries.conf(5)
EXAMPLE
This example pushes the image specified by the imageID to a local directory in docker
format.
# podman push imageID dir:/path/to/image
This example pushes the image specified by the imageID to a local directory in oci format.
# podman push imageID oci-archive:/path/to/layout:image:tag
This example pushes the image specified by the imageID to a container registry named
registry.example.com
# podman push imageID docker://registry.example.com/repository:tag
This example pushes the image specified by the imageID to a container registry named
registry.example.com and saves the digest in the specified digestfile.
# podman push --digestfile=/tmp/mydigest imageID
docker://registry.example.com/repository:tag
This example pushes the image specified by the imageID and puts it into the local docker
container store
# podman push imageID docker-daemon:image:tag
This example pushes the alpine image to umohnani/alpine on dockerhub and reads the creds
from the path given to --authfile
# podman push --authfile temp-auths/myauths.json alpine docker://docker.io/umohnani/alpine
