Containers that have already initialized (including containers that have been started and are running) are ignored. + +**--latest, -l** +Instead of providing the container name or ID, use the last created container. If you use methods other than Podman +to run containers such as CRI-O, the last started container could be from either of those methods. + +The latest option is not supported on the remote client. + +## EXAMPLE + +podman init 35480fc9d568 + +podman init test1 + +podman init --latest + +## SEE ALSO +podman(1), podman-start(1) + +## HISTORY +April 2019, Originally compiled by Matthew Heon <mheon@redhat.com> |
