NAME

SYNOPSIS

10       buildah rmi [image ...]
11
12

DESCRIPTION

14       Removes  one  or more locally stored images.  Passing an argument image
15       deletes it, along with any of its dangling (untagged) parent images.
16
17

LIMITATIONS

19              • If the image was pushed to a directory path using  the  'dir:'
20                transport,  the rmi command can not remove the image. Instead,
21                standard file system commands should be used.
22
23              • If imageID is a name, but does not include  a  registry  name,
24                buildah  will attempt to find and remove the named image using
25                the registry name localhost, if no such  image  is  found,  it
26                will search for the intended image by attempting to expand the
27                given name using the names of registries provided in the  sys‐
28                tem's registries configuration file, registries.conf.
29
30              • If  the imageID refers to a manifest list or image index, this
31                command will not do what you expect!  This command will remove
32                the images associated with the manifest list or index (not the
33                manifest list/image index itself). To  remove  that,  use  the
34                buildah manifest rm subcommand instead.

44       not  be  provided when this option is used. Read/Only images configured
45       by modifying the "additionalimagestores" in  the  /etc/containers/stor‐
