NAME
podman-rename - Rename an existing container
SYNOPSIS
podman rename container newname
podman container rename container newname
DESCRIPTION
Rename changes the name of an existing container. The old name will be freed, and will be available for use. This command can be run on containers in any state. However, running containers may not fully receive the effects until they are restarted - for example, a running container may still use the old name in its logs. At present, only containers are supported; pods and volumes cannot be renamed.
