podman-artifact-pull - Pulls an artifact from a registry and stores it locally
podman artifact pull [options] source
podman artifact pull copies an artifact from a registry onto the local machine.
SOURCE is the location from which the artifact image is obtained.
# Pull from a registry
$ podman artifact pull quay.io/foobar/artifact:special
Path of the authentication file. Default is
${XDG_RUNTIME_DIR}/containers/auth.json on Linux, and
$HOME/.config/containers/auth.json on Windows/macOS. The
file is created by 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.
Use certificates at path (*.crt, *.cert, *.key) to connect to the registry. (Default: /etc/containers/certs.d) For details, see containers-certs.d(5). (This option is not available with the remote Podman client, including Mac and Windows (excluding WSL2) machines)
The [username[:password]] to use to authenticate with the registry, if required. If one or both values are not supplied, a command line prompt appears and the value can be entered. The password is entered without echo.
Note that the specified credentials are only used to authenticate
against target registries. They are not used for mirrors or when the
registry gets rewritten (see
containers-registries.conf(5)); to authenticate against
those consider using a containers-auth.json(5) file.
The [key[:passphrase]] to be used for decryption of images. Key can point to keys and/or certificates. Decryption is tried with all keys. If the key is protected by a passphrase, it is required to be passed in the argument and omitted otherwise.
Print the usage statement.
Suppress output information when pulling images
Number of times to retry pulling or pushing images between the registry and local storage in case of failure. Default is 3.
Duration of delay between retry attempts when pulling or pushing images between the registry and local storage in case of failure. The default is to start at two seconds and then exponentially back off. The delay is used when this value is set, and no exponential back off occurs.
Require HTTPS and verify certificates when contacting registries (default: true). If explicitly set to true, TLS verification is used. If set to false, TLS verification is not used. If not specified, TLS verification is used unless the target registry is listed as an insecure registry in containers-registries.conf(5)
