Ugh. This had about five different variations among twelve files.
I went with the version from podman-create, kube play, login, pull,
push, run. The others:
- manifest-add and create did not include the "true, false, missing"
text. Now they do. (If this text is N/A to these two, please yell).
Also, these two were written with "talking" instead of "contacting"
the registry.
- podman-build had "does not work with remote", but this
does not seem to be true, so I removed it. None of the
other files had that.
- the wording in podman-search is just weird, with "if needed"
and "is listed" and unclear "insecure registries". I just
nuked it all. If that wording was deliberate, for some reason
that applies only to podman-search, please yell.
- podman-container-runlabel has one diff that I like, actually
spelling out containers-registries.conf(5), but incorporating
that would make this even harder to review. I will add that
to my in-progress doc-cleanup PR.
Review recommendation: run hack/markdown-preprocess-review but
just quit out of it immediately (on both popups). Ignore it completely.
Then cd /tmp/markdown-preprocess-review.diffs/tls-verify and run
$ clear;for i in podman-*;do echo;echo $i;wdiff -t $i zzz-chosen.md;done
This will show the major diffs between each version and the chosen one.
Assumes you have wdiff installed. If you have another colorize-actual-
individual-word-diffs tool installed, use that. I like cdif[1].

Podman Documentation
The online man pages and other documents regarding Podman can be found at Read The Docs. The man pages can be found under the Commands link on that page.

API Reference
The latest online documentation is
automatically generated by two cooperating automation systems based on committed upstream
source code. Firstly, the Cirrus-CI docs task builds
pkg/api/swagger.yaml and uploads it to a public-facing location (Google Storage Bucket -
an online service for storing unstructured data). Second, Read The Docs
reacts to the github.com repository change, building the content for the libpod documentation
site. This site includes for the API section,
some javascript which consumes the uploaded swagger.yaml file directly from the Google
Storage Bucket.
Since there are multiple systems and local cache is involved, it's possible that updates to documentation (especially the swagger/API docs) will lag by 10-or-so minutes. However, because the client (i.e. your web browser) is fetching content from multiple locations that do not share a common domain, accessing the API section may show a stack-trace similar to the following:
If reloading the page, or clearing your local cache does not fix the problem, it is
likely caused by broken metadata needed to protect clients from cross-site-scripting
style attacks. Please notify a maintainer
so they may investigate how/why the swagger.yaml file's CORS-metadata is
incorrect, or the file isn't accessible for some other reason.
Local Testing
Assuming that you have the dependencies installed, then also install (showing Fedora in the example):
# dnf install python3-sphinx python3-recommonmark
# pip install sphinx-markdown-tables
After that completes, cd to the docs directory in your Podman sandbox and then do make html.
You can then preview the html files in docs/build/html with:
python -m http.server 8000 --directory build/html
