6 podman-pull - Pull an image from a registry
7
10 podman pull [options] source
11 podman image pull [options] source
14 podman pull [options] [transport]name[:tag|@digest]
17 podman image pull [options] [transport]name[:tag|@digest]
20
23 Copies an image from a registry onto the local machine. podman pull
24 pulls an image from Docker Hub if a registry is not specified in the
25 command line argument. If an image tag is not specified, podman pull
26 defaults to the image with the latest tag (if it exists) and pulls it.
27 After the image is pulled, podman will print the full image ID. podman
28 pull can also pull an image using its digest podman pull image@digest.
29 podman pull can be used to pull images from archives and local storage
30 using different transports.
31
34 Images are stored in local image storage.
35
38 The SOURCE is the location from which the container images are pulled.
39 The Image "SOURCE" uses a "transport":"details" format. Only the
40 docker (container registry)
41 transport is allowed for remote access.
42 Multiple transports are supported:
45 dir:path
48 An existing local directory path storing the manifest, layer tarballs
49 and signatures as individual files. This
50 is a non-standardized format, primarily useful for debugging or non‐
51 invasive container inspection.
52 $ podman pull dir:/tmp/myimage
55 docker://docker-reference (Default)
59 An image reference stored in a remote container image registry. The
60 reference can include a path to a
61 specific registry; if it does not, the registries listed in reg‐
62 istries.conf will be queried to find a matching
63 image. By default, credentials from podman login (stored at $XDG_RUN‐
64 TIME_DIR/containers/auth.json by default)
65 will be used to authenticate; if these cannot be found, we will fall
66 back to using credentials in
67 $HOME/.docker/config.json.
68 $ podman pull quay.io/username/myimage
71 docker-archive:path[:docker-reference]
75 An image is stored in the docker save formatted file. docker-refer‐
76 ence is only used when creating such a
77 file, and it must not contain a digest.
78 $ podman pull docker-archive:/tmp/myimage
81 docker-daemon:docker-reference
85 An image in docker-reference format stored in the docker daemon
86 internal storage. The docker-reference can also be an image ID
87 (docker-daemon:algo:digest).
88 $ sudo podman pull docker-daemon:docker.io/library/myimage:33
91 oci-archive:path:tag
95 An image tag in a directory compliant with "Open Container Image Lay‐
96 out Specification" at path.
97 $ podman pull oci-archive:/tmp/myimage
100
104 --all-tags, a
105 All tagged images in the repository will be pulled.
106 Note: When using the all-tags flag, Podman will not iterate over the
109 search registries in the containers-registries.conf(5) but will always
110 use docker.io for unqualified image names.
111 --arch=ARCH
114 Override the architecture, defaults to hosts, of the image to be
115 pulled. For example, arm.
116 --authfile=path
119 Path of the authentication file. Default is ${XDG_RUNTIME_DIR}/contain‐
120 ers/auth.json, which is set using podman login. If the authorization
121 state is not found there, $HOME/.docker/config.json is checked, which
122 is set using docker login.
123 Note: You can also override the default path of the authentication file
126 by setting the REGISTRY_AUTH_FILE environment variable. export REG‐
127 ISTRY_AUTH_FILE=path
128 --cert-dir=path
131 Use certificates at path (*.crt, *.cert, *.key) to connect to the reg‐
132 istry. Default certificates directory is /etc/containers/certs.d. (Not
133 available for remote commands)
134 --creds=[username[:password]]
137 The [username[:password]] to use to authenticate with the registry if
138 required. If one or both values are not supplied, a command line
139 prompt will appear and the value can be entered. The password is
140 entered without echo.
141 --disable-content-trust
144 This is a Docker specific option to disable image verification to a
145 Docker registry and is not supported by Podman. This flag is a NOOP
146 and provided solely for scripting compatibility.
147 --help, -h
150 Print usage statement
151 --os=OS
154 Override the OS, defaults to hosts, of the image to be pulled. For
155 example, windows.
156 --platform=OS/ARCH
159 Specify the platform for selecting the image. (Conflicts with --arch
160 and --os) The --platform option can be used to override the current
161 architecture and operating system.
162 --quiet, -q
165 Suppress output information when pulling images
166 --tls-verify=true|false
169 Require HTTPS and verify certificates when contacting registries
170 (default: true). If explicitly set to true, then TLS verification will
171 be used. If set to false, then TLS verification will not be used. If
172 not specified, TLS verification will be used unless the target registry
173 is listed as an insecure registry in registries.conf.
174 --variant=VARIANT
177 Use VARIANT instead of the default architecture variant of the con‐
178 tainer image. Some images can use multiple variants of the arm archi‐
179 tectures, such as arm/v5 and arm/v7.

256 registries.conf (/etc/containers/registries.conf)
257 registries.conf is the configuration file which specifies which container registries should be consulted when completing image names which do not include a registry or domain portion.
260 NOTE: Use the environment variable TMPDIR to change the temporary stor‐
264 age location of downloaded container images. Podman defaults to use
265 /var/tmp.
