podman-pod-create - Create a new pod
podman pod create [options]
Creates an empty pod, or unit of multiple containers, and prepares it to have containers added to it. The pod id is printed to STDOUT. You can then use podman create --pod <pod_id|pod_name> ... to add containers to the pod, and podman pod start <pod_id|pod_name> to start the pod.
--cgroup-parent=path
Path to cgroups under which the cgroup for the pod will be created. If the path is not absolute, the path is considered to be relative to the cgroups path of the init process. Cgroups will be created if they do not already exist.
--help
Print usage statement
--infra
Create an infra container and associate it with the pod. An infra container is a lightweight container used to coordinate the shared kernel namespace of a pod. Default: true
--infra-command=command
The command that will be run to start the infra container. Default: "/pause"
--infra-image=image
The image that will be created for the infra container. Default: "k8s.gcr.io/pause:3.1"
-l, --label=label
Add metadata to a pod (e.g., --label com.example.key=value)
--label-file=label
Read in a line delimited file of labels
-n, --name=name
Assign a name to the pod
--podidfile=podid
Write the pod ID to the file
-p, --publish=port
Publish a port or range of ports from the pod to the host
Format: ip:hostPort:containerPort | ip::containerPort | hostPort:containerPort | containerPort
Both hostPort and containerPort can be specified as a range of ports.
When specifying ranges for both, the number of container ports in the range must match the number of host ports in the range.
Use podman port to see the actual mapping: podman port CONTAINER $CONTAINERPORT
NOTE: This cannot be modified once the pod is created.
--share=namespace
A comma delimited list of kernel namespaces to share. If none or "" is specified, no namespaces will be shared. The namespaces to choose from are ipc, net, pid, user, uts.
The operator can identify a pod in three ways: UUID long identifier (“f78375b1c487e03c9438c729345e54db9d20cfa2ac1fc3494b6eb60872e74778”) UUID short identifier (“f78375b1c487”) Name (“jonah”)
podman generates a UUID for each pod, and if a name is not assigned to the container with --name then a random string name will be generated for it. The name is useful any place you need to identify a pod.
