Configuring this is beyond +the scope of this example. Building a multi-arch manifest list +`shazam` in parallel across 4-threads can be done like this: + + $ platarch=linux/amd64,linux/ppc64le,linux/arm64,linux/s390x + $ podman build --jobs=4 --platform=$platarch --manifest shazam . + +**Note:** The `--jobs` argument is optional, and the `-t` or `--tag` +option should *not* be used. + +### Assembling a multi-arch manifest from separately built images + +Assuming `example.com/example/shazam:$arch` images are built separately +on other hosts and pushed to the `example.com` registry. They may +be combined into a manifest list, and pushed using a simple loop: + + $ REPO=example.com/example/shazam + $ podman manifest create $REPO:latest + $ for IMGTAG in amd64 s390x ppc64le arm64; do \ + podman manifest add $REPO:latest docker://$REPO:IMGTAG; \ + done + $ podman manifest push --all $REPO:latest + +**Note:** The `add` instruction argument order is `<manifest>` then `<image>`. +Also, the `--all` push option is required to ensure all contents are +pushed, not just the native platform/arch. + +### Removing and tagging a manifest list before pushing + +Special care is needed when removing and pushing manifest lists, as opposed +to the contents. You almost always want to use the `manifest rm` and +`manifest push --all` subcommands. For example, a rename and push could +be performed like this: + + $ podman tag localhost/shazam example.com/example/shazam + $ podman manifest rm localhost/shazam + $ podman manifest push --all example.com/example/shazam + + ## SEE ALSO podman(1), podman-manifest-add(1), podman-manifest-annotate(1), podman-manifest-create(1), podman-manifest-inspect(1), podman-manifest-push(1), podman-manifest-remove(1) |
