SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

17       podman  load  loads an image from either an oci-archive or a docker-ar‐
18       chive stored on the local machine into container storage.  podman  load
19       reads from stdin by default or a file if the input option is set.  pod‐
20       man load is used for loading from the archive generated by podman save,
21       that  includes  the  image  parent  layers. To load the archive of con‐
22       tainer's filesystem created by podman export, use podman import.
23
24
25       The local client further supports loading an oci-dir or a docker-dir as
26       created with podman save (1).

28
29       The quiet option suppresses the progress output when set.  Note: : is a
30       restricted character and cannot be part of the file name.

47   --input, -i=input
48       Load the specified input file instead of from stdin.  The file  can  be
49       on  the  local file system or on a server (e.g., https://server.com/ar
50       chive.tar)
51
52
53       The remote client, including Mac and Windows (excluding WSL2) machines,
54       requires the use of this option.

56
57       NOTE: Use the environment variable TMPDIR to change the temporary stor‐
58       age location of container images. Podman defaults to use /var/tmp.
