## NAME
podman\-commit - Create new image based on the changed container

## SYNOPSIS
**podman commit** [*options*] *container* *image*

## DESCRIPTION
`podman commit` creates an image based on a changed container. The author of the
image can be set using the `--author` flag. Various image instructions can be
configured with the `--change` flag and a commit message can be set using the
`--message` flag. The container and its processes are paused while the image is
committed. This minimizes the likelihood of data corruption when creating the new
image. If this is not desired, the `--pause` flag can be set to false. When the commit
is complete, podman will print out the ID of the new image.

If *image* does not begin with a registry name component, `localhost` will be added to the name.

## OPTIONS

**--author, -a**

Set the author for the committed image

**--change, -c**

Apply the following possible instructions to the created image:
**CMD** | **ENTRYPOINT** | **ENV** | **EXPOSE** | **LABEL** | **ONBUILD** | **STOPSIGNAL** | **USER** | **VOLUME** | **WORKDIR**

Can be set multiple times

**--format, -f**

Set the format of the image manifest and metadata.  The currently supported formats are _oci_ and _docker_.  If
not specifically set, the default format used is _oci_.

**--iidfile** *ImageIDfile*

Write the image ID to the file.

**--include-volumes**

Include in the committed image any volumes added to the container by the `--volume` or `--mount` options to the `podman create` and `podman run` commands.

**--message, -m**

Set commit message for committed image.  The message field is not supported in _oci_ format.

**--pause, -p**

Pause the container when creating an image

**--quiet, -q**

Suppress output
