## NAME
podman\-push - Push an image, manifest list or image index from local storage to elsewhere

## SYNOPSIS
**podman push** [*options*] *image* [*destination*]

**podman image push** [*options*] *image* [*destination*]

## DESCRIPTION
Pushes an image, manifest list or image index from local storage to a specified
destination. Push is mainly used to push images to registries, however
**podman push** can be used to save images to tarballs and directories using the
following transports:
**dir:**, **docker-archive:**, **docker-daemon:** and **oci-archive:**.

## Image storage
Images are pushed from those stored in local image storage.

## DESTINATION

 DESTINATION is the location the container image is pushed to. It supports all transports from `containers-transports(5)`. If no transport is specified, the `docker` (i.e., container registry) transport is used.  For remote clients, including Mac and Windows (excluding WSL2) machines, `docker` is the only supported transport.

```
# Push to a container registry
$ podman push quay.io/podman/stable

# Push to a container registry via the docker transport
$ podman push docker://quay.io/podman/stable

# Push to a container registry with another tag
$ podman push myimage quay.io/username/myimage

# Push to a local directory
$ podman push myimage dir:/tmp/myimage

# Push to a tarball in the docker-archive format
$ podman push myimage docker-archive:/tmp/myimage

# Push to a local docker daemon
$ sudo podman push myimage docker-daemon:docker.io/library/myimage:33

# Push to a tarball in the OCI format
$ podman push myimage oci-archive:/tmp/myimage
```

## OPTIONS

@@option authfile

@@option cert-dir

#### **--compress**

Compress tarball image layers when pushing to a directory using the 'dir' transport. (default is same compression type, compressed or uncompressed, as source)
Note: This flag can only be set when using the **dir** transport

#### **--compression-format**=**gzip** | *zstd* | *zstd:chunked*

Specifies the compression format to use.  Supported values are: `gzip`, `zstd` and `zstd:chunked`.  The default is `gzip` unless overridden in the containers.conf file.

@@option creds

@@option digestfile

@@option disable-content-trust

#### **--format**, **-f**=*format*

Manifest Type (oci, v2s2, or v2s1) to use when pushing an image.

#### **--quiet**, **-q**

When writing the output image, suppress progress output

#### **--remove-signatures**

Discard any pre-existing signatures in the image.

#### **--sign-by**=*key*

Add a “simple signing” signature at the destination using the specified key. (This option is not available with the remote Podman client, including Mac and Windows (excluding WSL2) machines)

#### **--sign-by-sigstore-private-key**=*path*

Add a sigstore signature at the destination using a private key at the specified path. (This option is not available with the remote Podman client, including Mac and Windows (excluding WSL2) machines)

#### **--sign-passphrase-file**=*path*

If signing the image (using either **--sign-by** or **--sign-by-sigstore-private-key**), read the passphrase to use from the specified path.

@@option tls-verify

## EXAMPLE

This example pushes the image specified by the imageID to a local directory in docker format.

 `# podman push imageID dir:/path/to/image`

This example pushes the image specified by the imageID to a local directory in oci format.

 `# podman push imageID oci-archive:/path/to/layout:image:tag`

This example pushes the image specified by the imageID to a container registry named registry.example.com

 `# podman push imageID docker://registry.example.com/repository:tag`

This example pushes the image specified by the imageID to a container registry named registry.example.com and saves the digest in the specified digestfile.

 `# podman push --digestfile=/tmp/mydigest imageID docker://registry.example.com/repository:tag`

This example pushes the image specified by the imageID and puts it into the local docker container store

 `# podman push imageID docker-daemon:image:tag`

This example pushes the alpine image to umohnani/alpine on dockerhub and reads the creds from
the path given to --authfile

```
# podman push --authfile temp-auths/myauths.json alpine docker://docker.io/umohnani/alpine
