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).
