Boaz Shuster 11e5c53d11 Add the rmi flag to podman-run to delete container image
The --rmi flag will delete the container image after its execution
unless that image is already been used by another container(s).

This is useful when one wants to execute a container once and remove
any resources attached to it.

NAME

podman-container-cleanup - Cleanup the container's network and mountpoints

SYNOPSIS

podman container cleanup [options] container

DESCRIPTION

podman container cleanup cleans up exited containers by removing all mountpoints and network configuration from the host. The container name or ID can be used. The cleanup command does not remove the containers. Running containers will not be cleaned up. Sometimes container's mount points and network stacks can remain if the podman command was killed or the container ran in daemon mode. This command is automatically executed when you run containers in daemon mode by the conmon process when the container exits.

OPTIONS

--all, a

Cleanup all containers.

--latest, -l Instead of providing the container name or ID, use the last created container. If you use methods other than Podman to run containers such as CRI-O, the last started container could be from either of those methods.

The latest option is not supported on the remote client.

--rm

After cleanup, remove the container entirely.

--rmi

After cleanup, remove the image entirely.

EXAMPLE

podman container cleanup mywebserver
