--name=name
Assign a name to the container.
The operator can identify a container in three ways:
- UUID long identifier (“f78375b1c487e03c9438c729345e54db9d20cfa2ac1fc3494b6eb60872e74778”);
- UUID short identifier (“f78375b1c487”);
- Name (“jonah”).
Podman generates a UUID for each container, and if no name is assigned to the
container using --name, Podman generates a random string name. The name can
be useful as a more human-friendly way to identify containers. This works for
both background and foreground containers. The container's name is also added
to the /etc/hosts file using the container's primary IP address (also see the
--add-host option).
