podman\-pod\-create - Create a new pod
## SYNOPSIS
-**podman pod create** [*options*]
+**podman pod create** [*options*] [*name*]
## 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.
+containers added to it. The pod can be created with a specific name. If a name
+is not given a random name is generated. 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.
+
+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.

+Publish a container's port, or range of ports, within this pod to the host.
-Format: `ip:hostPort:containerPort | ip::containerPort | hostPort:containerPort | containerPort`
Both hostPort and containerPort can be specified as a range of ports.
-When specifying ranges for both, the number of container ports in the range must match the number of host ports in the range.

+When specifying ranges for both, the number of container ports in the

+If host IP is set to 0.0.0.0 or not set at all, the port will be bound on all IPs on the host.
+
+By default, Podman will publish TCP ports. To publish a UDP port instead, give
+`udp` as protocol. To publish both TCP and UDP ports, set `--publish` twice,
+with `tcp`, and `udp` as protocols respectively. Rootful containers can also
+publish ports using the `sctp` protocol.
+
+Host port does not have to be specified (e.g. `podman run -p 127.0.0.1::80`).
+If it is not, the container port will be randomly assigned a port on the host.
-NOTE: This cannot be modified once the pod is created.

+but only by the pod itself.
