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> diff --git a/docs/podman.1.md b/docs/podman.1.md index 9c0ca8a7a..ef12cf1cc 100644 --- a/docs/podman.1.md +++ b/docs/podman.1.md @@ -147,6 +147,7 @@ the exit codes follow the `chroot` standard, see below: | [podman-images(1)](podman-images.1.md) | List images in local storage. | | [podman-import(1)](podman-import.1.md) | Import a tarball and save it as a filesystem image. | | [podman-info(1)](podman-info.1.md) | Displays Podman related system information. | +| [podman-init(1)](podman-init.1.md) | Initialize a container | | [podman-inspect(1)](podman-inspect.1.md) | Display a container or image's configuration. | | [podman-kill(1)](podman-kill.1.md) | Kill the main process in one or more containers. | | [podman-load(1)](podman-load.1.md) | Load an image from a container image archive into container storage. | |
