SYNOPSIS

11       buildah from [options] image
12
13

DESCRIPTION

15       Creates a working container based upon the specified  image  name.   If
16       the  supplied image name is "scratch" a new empty container is created.
17       Image names use a "transport":"details" format.
18
19
20       Multiple transports are supported:
21
22
23       dir:path
24         An existing local directory path containing the manifest, layer  tar‐
25       balls,  and  signatures in individual files. This is a non-standardized
26       format, primarily useful for debugging or noninvasive image inspection.
27
28
29       docker://docker-reference (Default)
30         An image in a registry implementing the  "Docker  Registry  HTTP  API
31       V2".   By   default,   uses   the  authorization  state  in  $XDG\_RUN‐
32       TIME\_DIR/containers/auth.json, which is set using (buildah login).  If
33       the  authorization  state is not found there, $HOME/.docker/config.json
34       is checked, which is set using (docker login).
35         If docker-reference does not include a registry name, localhost  will
36       be  consulted first, followed by any registries named in the registries
37       configuration.
38
39
40       docker-archive:path
41         An image is retrieved as a docker load formatted file.
42
43
44       docker-daemon:docker-reference
45         An image docker-reference stored  in  the  docker  daemon's  internal
46       storage.   docker-reference  must  include  either  a  tag or a digest.
47       Alternatively, when reading images, the format can also be  docker-dae‐
48       mon:algo:digest (an image ID).
49
50
51       oci:path:tag**
52         An image tag in a directory compliant with "Open Container Image Lay‐
53       out Specification" at path.
54
55
56       oci-archive:path:tag
57         An image tag in a directory compliant with "Open Container Image Lay‐
58       out Specification" at path.
59
60
61   DEPENDENCIES
62       Buildah  resolves  the  path  to the registry to pull from by using the
63       /etc/containers/registries.conf  file,   containers-registries.conf(5).
64       If  the  buildah  from  command  fails with an "image not known" error,
65       first verify that the registries.conf file is installed and  configured
66       appropriately.
67
68

RETURN VALUE

70       The  container  ID  of  the  container that was created.  On error 1 is
71       returned.
72
73

OPTIONS

75       --add-host=[]
76
77
78       Add a custom host-to-IP mapping (host:ip)
79
80
81       Add a line to /etc/hosts. The format  is  hostname:ip.  The  --add-host
82       option can be set multiple times.
83
84
85       --authfile path
86
87
88       Path of the authentication file. Default is ${XDG_RUNTIME_DIR}/contain‐
89       ers/auth.json, which is set using buildah login.  If the  authorization
90       state  is  not found there, $HOME/.docker/config.json is checked, which
91       is set using docker login.
92
93
94       --cap-add=CAP_xxx
95
96
97       Add the specified capability to the default set of  capabilities  which
98       will  be supplied for subsequent buildah run invocations which use this
99       container.  Certain capabilities are granted by  default;  this  option
100       can be used to add more.
101
102
103       --cap-drop=CAP_xxx
104
105
106       Remove  the  specified  capability from the default set of capabilities
107       which will be supplied for subsequent buildah run invocations which use
108       this  container.   The  CAP_AUDIT_WRITE,  CAP_CHOWN,  CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE,
109       CAP_FOWNER,  CAP_FSETID,  CAP_KILL,  CAP_MKNOD,   CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE,
110       CAP_SETFCAP,  CAP_SETGID,  CAP_SETPCAP,  CAP_SETUID, and CAP_SYS_CHROOT
111       capabilities are granted by default; this option can be used to  remove
112       them.
113
114
115       If  a  capability  is  specified  to  both the --cap-add and --cap-drop
116       options, it will be dropped, regardless  of  the  order  in  which  the
117       options were given.
118
119
120       --cert-dir path
121
122
123       Use  certificates at path (*.crt, *.cert, *.key) to connect to the reg‐
124       istry.  The default certificates directory is /etc/containers/certs.d.
125
126
127       --cgroup-parent=""
128
129
130       Path to cgroups under which the cgroup for the container will  be  cre‐
131       ated.  If  the path is not absolute, the path is considered to be rela‐
132       tive to the cgroups path of the init process. Cgroups will  be  created
133       if they do not already exist.
134
135
136       --cidfile ContainerIDFile
137
138
139       Write the container ID to the file.
140
141
142       --cni-config-dir=directory
143
144
145       Location  of  CNI  configuration files which will dictate which plugins
146       will be used to configure network interfaces and routing when the  con‐
147       tainer is subsequently used for buildah run, if processes to be started
148       will be run in their own network namespaces, and networking is not dis‐
149       abled.
150
151
152       --cni-plugin-path=directory[:directory[:directory[...]]]
153
154
155       List  of  directories  in  which the CNI plugins which will be used for
156       configuring network namespaces can be found.
157
158
159       --cpu-period=0
160
161
162       Limit the CPU CFS (Completely Fair Scheduler) period
163
164
165       Limit the container's CPU usage. This flag tell the kernel to  restrict
166       the container's CPU usage to the period you specify.
167
168
169       --cpu-quota=0
170
171
172       Limit the CPU CFS (Completely Fair Scheduler) quota
173
174
175       Limit  the  container's  CPU usage. By default, containers run with the
176       full CPU resource. This flag tell  the  kernel  to  restrict  the  con‐
177       tainer's CPU usage to the quota you specify.
178
179
180       --cpu-shares, -c=0
181
182
183       CPU shares (relative weight)
184
185
186       By  default, all containers get the same proportion of CPU cycles. This
187       proportion can be  modified  by  changing  the  container's  CPU  share
188       weighting relative to the weighting of all other running containers.
189
190
191       To modify the proportion from the default of 1024, use the --cpu-shares
192       flag to set the weighting to 2 or higher.
193
194
195       The proportion will only apply when CPU-intensive  processes  are  run‐
196       ning.   When  tasks in one container are idle, other containers can use
197       the left-over CPU time. The actual amount of CPU time will vary depend‐
198       ing on the number of containers running on the system.
199
200
201       For example, consider three containers, one has a cpu-share of 1024 and
202       two others have a cpu-share setting of 512. When processes in all three
203       containers  attempt  to  use  100%  of  CPU,  the first container would
204       receive 50% of the total CPU time. If you add a fourth container with a
205       cpu-share  of  1024,  the first container only gets 33% of the CPU. The
206       remaining containers receive 16.5%, 16.5% and 33% of the CPU.
207
208
209       On a multi-core system, the shares of CPU time are distributed over all
210       CPU  cores.  Even  if  a  container is limited to less than 100% of CPU
211       time, it can use 100% of each individual CPU core.
212
213
214       For example, consider a system with more than three cores. If you start
215       one  container  {C0}  with -c=512 running one process, and another con‐
216       tainer {C1} with -c=1024 running two processes, this can result in  the
217       following division of CPU shares:
218
219
220              PID    container    CPU  CPU share
221              100    {C0}         0    100% of CPU0
222              101    {C1}         1    100% of CPU1
223              102    {C1}         2    100% of CPU2
224
225
226
227       --cpuset-cpus=""
228
229
230       CPUs in which to allow execution (0-3, 0,1)
231
232
233       --cpuset-mems=""
234
235
236       Memory nodes (MEMs) in which to allow execution (0-3, 0,1). Only effec‐
237       tive on NUMA systems.
238
239
240       If  you  have  four  memory   nodes   on   your   system   (0-3),   use
241       --cpuset-mems=0,1 then processes in your container will only use memory
242       from the first two memory nodes.
243
244
245       --creds creds
246
247
248       The [username[:password]] to use to authenticate with the  registry  if
249       required.   If  one  or  both  values  are not supplied, a command line
250       prompt will appear and the value  can  be  entered.   The  password  is
251       entered without echo.
252
253
254       --device=device
255
256
257       Add  a  host  device or devices under a directory to the container. The
258       format   is    <device-on-host>[:<device-on-container>][:<permissions>]
259       (e.g. --device=/dev/sdc:/dev/xvdc:rwm)
260
261
262       --dns=[]
263
264
265       Set custom DNS servers
266
267
268       This option can be used to override the DNS configuration passed to the
269       container. Typically this is necessary when the host DNS  configuration
270       is  invalid  for the container (e.g., 127.0.0.1). When this is the case
271       the --dns flag is necessary for every run.
272
273
274       The special  value  none  can  be  specified  to  disable  creation  of
275       /etc/resolv.conf in the container by Buildah. The /etc/resolv.conf file
276       in the image will be used without changes.
277
278
279       --dns-option=[]
280
281
282       Set custom DNS options
283
284
285       --dns-search=[]
286
287
288       Set custom DNS search domains
289
290
291       --http-proxy
292
293
294       By default proxy environment variables are passed into the container if
295       set  for  the  Buildah  process.   This  can be disabled by setting the
296       --http-proxy option to false.   The  environment  variables  passed  in
297       include  http_proxy,  https_proxy,  ftp_proxy,  no_proxy,  and also the
298       upper case versions of those.
299
300
301       Defaults to true
302
303
304       --ipc how
305
306
307       Sets the configuration for IPC namespaces when the container is  subse‐
308       quently  used  for  buildah  run.   The configured value can be "" (the
309       empty string) or "container" to  indicate  that  a  new  IPC  namespace
310       should  be created, or it can be "host" to indicate that the IPC names‐
311       pace in which Buildah itself is being run should be reused, or  it  can
312       be  the  path  to  an  IPC namespace which is already in use by another
313       process.
314
315
316       --isolation type
317
318
319       Controls what type of isolation is used  for  running  processes  under
320       buildah run.  Recognized types include oci (OCI-compatible runtime, the
321       default), rootless (OCI-compatible runtime  invoked  using  a  modified
322       configuration,  with  --no-new-keyring  added to its create invocation,
323       with network and UTS namespaces disabled, and IPC, PID, and user names‐
324       paces  enabled;  the  default  for  unprivileged users), and chroot (an
325       internal wrapper that leans more toward chroot(1) than container  tech‐
326       nology).
327
328
329       Note:  You  can also override the default isolation type by setting the
330       BUILDAH_ISOLATION environment variable.  export BUILDAH_ISOLATION=oci
331
332
333       --memory, -m=""
334
335
336       Memory limit (format: [], where unit = b, k, m or g)
337
338
339       Allows you to constrain the memory available to  a  container.  If  the
340       host  supports  swap  memory,  then the -m memory setting can be larger
341       than physical RAM. If a limit of 0 is specified  (not  using  -m),  the
342       container's  memory  is not limited. The actual limit may be rounded up
343       to a multiple of the operating system's page size (the value  would  be
344       very large, that's millions of trillions).
345
346
347       --memory-swap="LIMIT"
348
349
350       A  limit  value  equal  to  memory plus swap. Must be used with the  -m
351       (--memory) flag. The swap LIMIT should always be larger than -m (--mem‐
352       ory) value.  By default, the swap LIMIT will be set to double the value
353       of --memory.
354
355
356       The format of LIMIT is <number>[<unit>].  Unit  can  be  b  (bytes),  k
357       (kilobytes),  m  (megabytes),  or g (gigabytes). If you don't specify a
358       unit, b is used. Set LIMIT to -1 to enable unlimited swap.
359
360
361       --name name
362
363
364       A name for the working container
365
366
367       --net how --network how
368
369
370       Sets the configuration for network namespaces  when  the  container  is
371       subsequently used for buildah run.  The configured value can be "" (the
372       empty string) or "container" to indicate that a new  network  namespace
373       should  be  created,  or  it can be "host" to indicate that the network
374       namespace in which Buildah itself is being run should be reused, or  it
375       can  be  the  path  to  a  network namespace which is already in use by
376       another process.
377
378
379       --pid how
380
381
382       Sets the configuration for PID namespaces when the container is  subse‐
383       quently  used  for  buildah  run.   The configured value can be "" (the
384       empty string) or "container" to  indicate  that  a  new  PID  namespace
385       should  be created, or it can be "host" to indicate that the PID names‐
386       pace in which Buildah itself is being run should be reused, or  it  can
387       be  the  path  to  a  PID  namespace which is already in use by another
388       process.
389
390
391       --pull
392
393
394       When the flag is enabled, attempt to pull the  latest  image  from  the
395       registries listed in registries.conf if a local image does not exist or
396       the image is newer than the one in storage. Raise an error if the image
397       is not in any listed registry and is not present locally.
398
399
400       If the flag is disabled (with --pull=false), do not pull the image from
401       the registry, use only the local version. Raise an error if  the  image
402       is not present locally.
403
404
405       Defaults to true.
406
407
408       --pull-always
409
410
411       Pull the image from the first registry it is found in as listed in reg‐
412       istries.conf.  Raise an error if not found in the registries,  even  if
413       the image is present locally.
414
415
416       --pull-never
417
418
419       Do  not  pull  the image from the registry, use only the local version.
420       Raise an error if the image is not present locally.
421
422
423       --quiet, -q
424
425
426       If an image needs to be pulled from  the  registry,  suppress  progress
427       output.
428
429
430       --security-opt=[]
431
432
433       Security Options

450         "apparmor=your-profile" : Set the apparmor  confinement  profile  for
451       the container
452
453
454       --shm-size=""
455
456
457       Size  of /dev/shm. The format is <number><unit>. number must be greater
458       than 0.  Unit  is  optional  and  can  be  b  (bytes),  k  (kilobytes),
459       m(megabytes),  or g (gigabytes).  If you omit the unit, the system uses
460       bytes. If you omit the size entirely, the system uses 64m.
461
462
463       --tls-verify bool-value
464
465
466       Require HTTPS and verify certificates when talking  to  container  reg‐
467       istries (defaults to true)
468

471
472
473       Specifies resource limits to apply to processes launched during buildah
474       run.  This option can be specified multiple times.  Recognized resource
475       types include:

495
496       --userns how
497
498
499       Sets the configuration for user namespaces when the container is subse‐
500       quently  used  for  buildah  run.   The configured value can be "" (the
501       empty string) or "container" to indicate  that  a  new  user  namespace
502       should be created, it can be "host" to indicate that the user namespace
503       in which Buildah itself is being run should be reused, or it can be the
504       path to an user namespace which is already in use by another process.
505
506
507       --userns-uid-map mapping
508
509
510       Directly specifies a UID mapping which should be used to set ownership,
511       at the filesystem level, on the  container's  contents.   Commands  run
512       using  buildah  run  will default to being run in their own user names‐
513       paces, configured using the UID and GID maps.
514
515
516       Entries in this map take the form of one or more triples of a  starting
517       in-container UID, a corresponding starting host-level UID, and the num‐
518       ber of consecutive IDs which the map entry represents.
519
520
521       This option overrides the remap-uids setting in the options section  of
522       /etc/containers/storage.conf.
523
524
525       If  this option is not specified, but a global --userns-uid-map setting
526       is supplied, settings from the global option will be used.
527
528
529       If   none   of   --userns-uid-map-user,   --userns-gid-map-group,    or
530       --userns-uid-map  are specified, but --userns-gid-map is specified, the
531       UID map will be set to use the same numeric values as the GID map.
532
533
534       --userns-gid-map mapping
535
536
537       Directly specifies a GID mapping which should be used to set ownership,
538       at  the  filesystem  level,  on the container's contents.  Commands run
539       using buildah run will default to being run in their  own  user  names‐
540       paces, configured using the UID and GID maps.
541
542
543       Entries  in this map take the form of one or more triples of a starting
544       in-container GID, a corresponding starting host-level GID, and the num‐
545       ber of consecutive IDs which the map entry represents.
546
547
548       This  option overrides the remap-gids setting in the options section of
549       /etc/containers/storage.conf.
550
551
552       If this option is not specified, but a global --userns-gid-map  setting
553       is supplied, settings from the global option will be used.
554
555
556       If    none   of   --userns-uid-map-user,   --userns-gid-map-group,   or
557       --userns-gid-map are specified, but --userns-uid-map is specified,  the
558       GID map will be set to use the same numeric values as the UID map.
559
560
561       --userns-uid-map-user user
562
563
564       Specifies  that a UID mapping which should be used to set ownership, at
565       the filesystem level, on the container's  contents,  can  be  found  in
566       entries in the /etc/subuid file which correspond to the specified user.
567       Commands run using buildah run will default to being run in  their  own
568       user   namespaces,   configured   using  the  UID  and  GID  maps.   If
569       --userns-gid-map-group is specified, but --userns-uid-map-user  is  not
570       specified,  Buildah will assume that the specified group name is also a
571       suitable user name to use as the default setting for this option.
572
573
574       --userns-gid-map-group group
575
576
577       Specifies that a GID mapping which should be used to set ownership,  at
578       the  filesystem  level,  on  the  container's contents, can be found in
579       entries in the /etc/subgid  file  which  correspond  to  the  specified
580       group.   Commands  run  using  buildah run will default to being run in
581       their own user namespaces, configured using the UID and GID  maps.   If
582       --userns-uid-map-user  is  specified, but --userns-gid-map-group is not
583       specified, Buildah will assume that the specified user name is  also  a
584       suitable group name to use as the default setting for this option.
585
586
587       --uts how
588
589
590       Sets  the configuration for UTS namespaces when the container is subse‐
591       quently used for buildah run.  The configured  value  can  be  ""  (the
592       empty  string)  or  "container"  to  indicate  that a new UTS namespace
593       should be created, or it can be "host" to indicate that the UTS  names‐
594       pace  in  which Buildah itself is being run should be reused, or it can
595       be the path to a UTS namespace which  is  already  in  use  by  another
596       process.
597
598
599       --volume, -v[=[HOST-DIR:CONTAINER-DIR[:OPTIONS]]]
600
601
602       Create a bind mount. If you specify, -v /HOST-DIR:/CONTAINER-DIR, Buil‐
603       dah
604          bind mounts /HOST-DIR in the host to /CONTAINER-DIR in the Buildah
605          container. The OPTIONS are a comma delimited list and can be:
606
607
608              · [rw|ro]
609
610              · [z|Z|O]
611
612              · [[r]shared|[r]slave|[r]private|[r]unbindable]
613
614
615
616       The CONTAINER-DIR must be an  absolute  path  such  as  /src/docs.  The
617       HOST-DIR  must  be  an  absolute  path as well. Buildah bind-mounts the
618       HOST-DIR to the path you specify. For example, if you  supply  /foo  as
619       the  host  path,  Buildah  copies the contents of /foo to the container
620       filesystem on the host and bind mounts that into the container.
621
622
623       You can specify multiple  -v options to mount one or more mounts  to  a
624       container.
625
626
627       You  can add the :ro or :rw suffix to a volume to mount it read-only or
628       read-write mode, respectively. By  default,  the  volumes  are  mounted
629       read-write.  See examples.
630
631
632       Labeling Volume Mounts
633
634
635       Labeling  systems like SELinux require that proper labels are placed on
636       volume content mounted into a container. Without a label, the  security
637       system  might  prevent  the processes running inside the container from
638       using the content. By default, Buildah does not change the  labels  set
639       by the OS.
640
641
642       To  change  a label in the container context, you can add either of two
643       suffixes :z or :Z to the volume mount. These suffixes tell  Buildah  to
644       relabel  file objects on the shared volumes. The z option tells Buildah
645       that two containers share the volume  content.  As  a  result,  Buildah
646       labels  the  content  with a shared content label. Shared volume labels
647       allow all containers to read/write content.  The Z option tells Buildah
648       to  label  the content with a private unshared label.  Only the current
649       container can use a private volume.
650
651
652       Overlay Volume Mounts
653
654
655       The :O flag tells Buildah to mount the directory from  the  host  as  a
656       temporary  storage  using the Overlay file system. The RUN command con‐
657       tainers are allowed to modify contents within the  mountpoint  and  are
658       stored  in the container storage in a separate directory.  In Ovelay FS
659       terms the source directory will be the lower, and the container storage
660       directory  will  be  the  upper.  Modifications  to the mount point are
661       destroyed when the RUN command finishes executing, similar to  a  tmpfs
662       mount point.
663
664
665       Any  subsequent  execution  of  RUN  commands  sees the original source
666       directory content, any changes from previous  RUN  commands  no  longer
667       exists.
668
669
670       One use case of the overlay mount is sharing the package cache from the
671       host into the container to allow speeding up builds.
672
673
674       Note:
675
676
677               - Overlay mounts are not currently supported in rootless mode.
678               - The `O` flag is not allowed to be specified with the `Z` or `z` flags. Content mounted into the container is labeled with the private label.
679                 On SELinux systems, labels in the source directory needs to be readable by the container label. If not, SELinux container separation must be disabled for the container to work.
680               - Modification of the directory volume mounted into the container with an overlay mount can cause unexpected failures.  It is recommended that you do not modify the directory until the container finishes running.
681
682
683
684       By default bind mounted volumes are private. That means any mounts done
685       inside  container  will not be visible on the host and vice versa. This
686       behavior can be changed by specifying a volume mount propagation  prop‐
687       erty.
688
689
690       When  the  mount  propagation  policy is set to shared, any mounts com‐
691       pleted inside the container on that volume will be visible to both  the
692       host  and container. When the mount propagation policy is set to slave,
693       one way mount propagation is enabled and any mounts  completed  on  the
694       host  for that volume will be visible only inside of the container.  To
695       control  the  mount  propagation  property  of  the  volume   use   the
696       :[r]shared, :[r]slave, [r]private or [r]unbindablepropagation flag. The
697       propagation property can be specified only for bind mounted volumes and
698       not  for  internal  volumes  or named volumes. For mount propagation to
699       work on the source mount point (the mount point  where  source  dir  is
700       mounted on) it has to have the right propagation properties. For shared
701       volumes, the source mount point has to be shared. And  for  slave  vol‐
702       umes, the source mount has to be either shared or slave.
703
704
705       Use  df <source-dir> to determine the source mount and then use findmnt
706       -o TARGET,PROPAGATION <source-mount-dir> to determine propagation prop‐
707       erties of source mount, if findmnt utility is not available, the source
708       mount point can  be  determined  by  looking  at  the  mount  entry  in
709       /proc/self/mountinfo. Look at optional fields and see if any propagaion
710       properties are specified.  shared:X means the mount is shared, master:X
711       means  the  mount is slave and if nothing is there that means the mount
712       is private.
713
714
715       To change propagation properties of a mount point use  the  mount  com‐
716       mand.  For  example,  to  bind mount the source directory /foo do mount
717       --bind /foo /foo and mount --make-private --make-shared /foo. This will
718       convert  /foo into a shared mount point.  The propagation properties of
719       the source mount can be changed directly. For  instance  if  /  is  the
720       source mount for /foo, then use mount --make-shared / to convert / into
721       a shared mount.

ENVIRONMENT

777       BUILD_REGISTRY_SOURCES
778
779
780       BUILD_REGISTRY_SOURCES,  if set, is treated as a JSON object which con‐
781       tains lists  of  registry  names  under  the  keys  insecureRegistries,
782       blockedRegistries, and allowedRegistries.
783
784
785       When  pulling  an  image  from  a registry, if the name of the registry
786       matches any of the items in the blockedRegistries list, the image  pull
787       attempt  is  denied.   If there are registries in the allowedRegistries
788       list, and the registry's name is not in the list, the pull  attempt  is
789       denied.
790
791
792       TMPDIR The TMPDIR environment variable allows the user to specify where
793       temporary files are stored while pulling and pushing images.   Defaults
794       to '/var/tmp'.
