 Potential name conflicts between volumes are avoided by using a standard naming scheme for each volume type. The *hostPath* volume types are named according to the path on the host machine, replacing forward slashes with hyphens less any leading and trailing forward slashes. The special case of the filesystem root, `/`, translates to the name `root`. Additionally, the name is suffixed with `-host` to avoid naming conflicts with *persistentVolumeClaim* volumes. Each *persistentVolumeClaim* volume type uses the name of its associated named volume suffixed with `-pvc`.
 
+Note that if an init container is created with type `once` and the pod has been started, the init container will not show up in the generated kube YAML as `once` type init containers are deleted after they are run. If the pod has only been created and not started, it will be in the generated kube YAML.
+Init containers created with type `always` will always be generated in the kube YAML as they are never deleted, even after running to completion.
+
 Note that the generated Kubernetes YAML file can be used to re-run the deployment via podman-play-kube(1).

 Only two volume types are supported by play kube, the *hostPath* and *persistentVolumeClaim* volume types. For the *hostPath* volume type, only the  *default (empty)*, *DirectoryOrCreate*, *Directory*, *FileOrCreate*, *File*, and *Socket* subtypes are supported. The *CharDevice* and *BlockDevice* subtypes are not supported. Podman interprets the value of *hostPath* *path* as a file path when it contains at least one forward slash, otherwise Podman treats the value as the name of a named volume. When using a *persistentVolumeClaim*, the value for *claimName* is the name for the Podman named volume.
 
+Note: When playing a kube YAML with init containers, the init container will be created with init type value `always`.

 Note: *hostPath* volume types created by play kube will be given an SELinux private label (Z)
 
 Note: If the `:latest` tag is used, Podman will attempt to pull the image from a registry. If the image was built locally with Podman or Buildah, it will have `localhost` as the domain, in that case, Podman will use the image from the local store even if it has the `:latest` tag.
