NAME
podman-pod-create - Create a new pod
SYNOPSIS
podman pod create [options]
DESCRIPTION
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.
OPTIONS
--cgroup-parent=true|false
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.
--podidfile=""
Write the pod ID to the file
--help
Print usage statement
-l, --label=[]
Add metadata to a pod (e.g., --label com.example.key=value)
--label-file=[]
Read in a line delimited file of labels
-n, --name=""
Assign a name to the pod
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.
EXAMPLES
podman pod create --name test
